ANKLE LIGAMENTS HELP

(2 discussions)

I sprained my ankle 10 days ago, inside and outside ankle. I am using the aircast, and iced it many time everyday. I stayed off the ankle for 4 days. Bruising is gone, pain gone from the inside of the ankle, but the high part of the ankle is still very tender. How long is the pain likely to last, and what are the next treatment steps.M.

    It is still a bit too soon to expect 100% recovery. I recommend you stick with your present treatment for several more weeks. Your doctor should be able to tell you how long based on the degree of injury

    I started running and walking in a new pair of Brooks running shoes and in the last three, four days the pain has been unbearable. It is on the inside of my left ankle between the joint and achilles tendon and radiates upward toward the knee. I have hemipalegia in this leg from a stroke 12 years ago. I have mid-foot strkie on this foot and over pronated roll as I move through the foot plant. It only happens when I use the one pair of shoes, needlas to say there gone. But how do I treat the ongoing pain and make sure it doesn’t return?
