Ankle pain!

[BluCrystal]

I broke my ankle last year, and they gave me a hard boot to wear, plus all the things to do and not do with my foot.  I did all that, then I was doing fine without the boot, walking running, bike riding, etc.  Since i was doing okay, and I was low on money, I didn't go back for my aftercare session. Recently, i did a 6 day stint in the hospital, where I would pace the halls whenever I was bored, which was quite a bit.  Ever since then, my ankle is KILLING me.  Pain to the point where I have to put the hard boot back on, and use a cane to walk.  I can put slight pressure on it in the boot, no pressure at all without it.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! - Blu

I would go back to the doctor that gave you the boot and let him x-ray it again to make sure and go from there and I would also do physical therapy. But first go get it checked out. Update me when you do find out. I will be praying for you and good luck.

the dr gave some good advise.  you probably been on your feet too much.  and maybe strained it or pulled it. I had this problem after my mom died.  I was getting ready and I caught my foot on something and got it tangled up and fell.  in a couple it swole up and hurt to walk.  I went to a foot doctor.  he said it was not broken.  I must have sprained it.  he exrayed and thern wrapped my foot up.  then I thought it was all better a couple or three weeks it swole up again, the doctor was not sure.  he wrapped it again.  it has not bothered me since.  mandy876
