ankle sprain
(2 discussions)
I sprained my ankle 4 weeks ago playing soccer.
I had an xray done to make sure it wasn’t broken.
my anlke still has some swelling a feels tight.
But I have pain at time onthe otherside of my ankle anup my shin is that normal?
I feel any turning of my ankle would cause great pain and when I bump my outside of my ankle it kills?
thanks for any help

For what you wrote, your ankle sprain is likely to be more involved thatn first thought. A common misconception is that an ankle sprain is no great concern. That is an incorrect assumption. If you saw a podiatrist or orthopedist initially, then go back. If you were seen at a minor emergency center or ER, see the above suggestion. You probably need a good ankle brace at the bare minimum. If you are still hurting, I might recommend an MRI. Good luck
