Sprained ankle

Hello, I had a sprained ankle 8 months ago and even after 3 months of physical therapy I still feel some pain in certain movements. What you recommend?

My son's broken ankle was not diagnosed for 5 months now he needs surgery!  How common is that?  The Doctor said I can't believe I missed that and I was thinking the same thing?   Can we trust this doctor now? I am very nervous that you would not see a chip and a big gaping hole in the joint?

Hi there!

It would be difficult to comment on the situation or suggest something without knowing the relevant clinical details or a detailed clinical evaluation. If physiotherapy post an initial period of rest has not been successful, you may consider a re-evaluation by your treating orthopedician for appropriate management.
Hope this helps.

Take care!
