hi I rolled my ankle atleast two years ago and I got it x-rayed and it was not broken. then ever since that I have rolled my ankle all the time and it is really getting annoying. Also when I move my ankle sometimes it makes a crakling noise. Also when I place it a serten way it looks like I have two ankle bones.
What should I do
I have a fractured rib confirmed by Dr. and x-rays. Just what can I do or not do?
Is rest that important? Don’t like taking pain killers (Motrin 800mg-try to take only at night and about 400 distributed througout the day.)but is that important?Also, how do I read responses to messages that have been posted? Thanks Reba

The buldge in the calf (doctor says its blood) is till there and very tender. I cannot straighten my leg and put my heel flat without pain. I don’t know if I should even be trying to do this at this point or if I should wait for the initial healing. It feels like its no better this nine day later. Advice?

Read More4 weeks ago I was playing volleyball, and I felt a pop in my calf with severe pain. I went to the doctor and he said it was a partial torn calf muscle. I have been healing well, but now I have pain in the back of my leg running up from my ankle to underneath my calf, could this be my achilles? is it possible I tore my achilles tendon and not a torn calf muscle? And if so, what is the healing time, and when can I return to volleyball? and should I use calf support when/if I do? It does not hurt to jump, but it bothers me when walking or running. I work out at a fitness center and have been excersising since the first week after the injury.

Read MoreSITUATION: My PT found it necessary to evaluate my tailbone. This required him to reach down between my buttocks. He said it pointed to the left and was “tucked” under more than normal. His “therapy” was to push it over to the right and then reach under it and pull it from being tucked under.QUESTION: Is this a “normal/standard” procedure.BACKSTORY: I recently started running and begun having pain on the outside area of my lower legs. My friend recommended this PT and so I went in. After his initial evaluation (which did not involve the tailbone check) he thought I might have some lower back issue that was causing the pain. He said I need to go to my General Practitioner for a prescription to have physical therapy and recommended an x-ray. I did as he requested. My GP agreed with the x-ray and suggested an EMG to test if I had any nerve damage in my lower leg. The x-ray came back “normal” and during my first therapy session with the PT he provided pressure to various parts of my ankle (front and sides) to loosen up the muscles in that area. Although the x-ray came back normal, he still felt that my problem could be fixed by also doing some back and hip therapy and would contact my GP for approval to work on these areas.At my second therapy session, my PT did the tailbone check and adjustment.Turns out my friend who recommended me to this PT (and her husband) have both gotten the same tailbone adjustment from this guy, even though all our reasons for going to him were slightly different, but back/leg/running pain related. We are wondering if this guy is getting off on this sort of “therapy” or if this is in fact a “normal/standard” procedure. Thanks for your time and I look forward to your responses.
