no movement in toes or ankle

[nita71]

Last october,  i went over on my ankle . I am still in pain, i have had xrays and an mri scan on my ankle,  and there is nothing showing wrong  i still can not move my toes (apart from my toe next to my  big toe which occasionally wiggles)) I also cannot rotate my foot/ankle. Sitting in the car really hurts.  Sat on the chair other day, just leant to speak to someone and it sent pain through my heel ..I need to be able to walk as i am a postlady. I am seeing a doctor every couple weeks and am not getting a diagnosis.  physio cant help until i get movement back in my foot,  any help?

Hi!
I am sorry to hear about your medical problems. Your problem may not be at the ankle joint. You may have damaged the nerves, tendons, muscles or ligaments of foot that are connected to the toes. It could also be stress fractures of the bones of the foot. You will need MRI of the whole foot, X-rays of the foot, EMG and nerve conduction studies for a confirmed diagnosis. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
