I hurt my left knee and my right ankle about three weeks ago. While my knee seems to be doing ok most of the time my ankle has not. I have been to my doctor and she has referred me to an orthopedest but I don't go in until Wed. My ankle feels okay when I first get up but after walking on it for a little bit throughout the day I start getting sharp shooting pains on the inside of my ankle. When I sit down is when I feel the warmth sensation over my entire foot. My foot is a bit swollen and I have continually done RICE as well as an anti inflamatory my doctor perscribed. What do you think could be wrong? I couldn't have a broken bone and be able to still walk on it right?

have you ever heard of carpol tunnel in the wrist? On the inside of the ankle you have a branch of nerves that go to the foot and it is called tarsel tunnel, some times when you injure your ankle you end up injuring these. I had to have surgery on mine and it takes a long time to get over it. I had surgery in 2002 for mine and wish I would have given it more time to heal as the surgery has left me with problems. I wish you well.

The ankle has many small bones. It sounds as if one may be broken. The orthopedist will see it on x-ray, if it is.

he might prescribe a walking boot for you to limit the movement when walking
