Broken ankle healed, why is my foot still killing me?

Question

I broke it about 6 weeks ago, the bone has healed and I have very little pain there, but my foot is killing me. The dr. says it will hurt for awhile, but I don't think he was paying attention to what I was saying. Is it normal to have this pain (it is along the outer side of my foot along the top), should I get a second opinion?

Answer 2

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.

So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.

Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.

A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.

Heal your ankle fully & fast?

Answer 3

That pain is normal. Believe it or not, once you have damaged something as fragile as an ankle bone, it will never return to its original dimensions. Expect to be sore for quite some time yet. Plus, you will experience the "joy" of aches and pains once cold weather or rain sets in...I broke my ankle 2 years ago, and I'm still feeling the effects. Hang in there!

Casts most of the time keep on for five-6 weeks - however he will have to be competent to hobble round after approximately every week. Do your children have an XBox or sport console? That could preserve him occupied for a at the same time. Or you'll be able to get Netflix for a month - without spending a dime. But do not remember your self dependable for maintaining him entertained - it is HIS ankle that is damaged.

I fractured my foot almost two years ago. I couldn't get the doctor to listen to me on pain after it supposedly healed. I got a second opinion. Now I have to have surgery.
