I spranded my ankle before Thanksgiving last year I ve had x-rays and an MRI. I had a boot for about 4-5 months and continued to work a very high volume waitress job, working 8 hrs with lots of twisting! I ve been to physical theraphy twice a week for about 3 months. I work two days one week and three the next but also work a real estate job and busy life schedule. I fell hard onto a plywood floor missing a step my foot isn t getting better and all the tiny bones in my foot have become a problem. I think I need a cast of some sort but would be concerned about atrophy. Just want to get better probably need a cast??
after a fall, an x-ray should have been done to see any hairline fracture, you may get it done now. Take Advil tabs after meals, do contrast bath of foot in hot water and cold water alternately, consult an orthopedic doctor for evaluation. Do take rest till things clearest wishes
