i slightly twisted my ankle this morning, but caught myself before it actually twisted. i was able to walk on it all day and had no pain. I even forgot it happened. When I got home from work and got out of the car, i noticed it hurt on the top of my foot. I proceeded to walk my dog and was limping before walking around the block. I am still limping around the house. I can put weight on it, but not walk on it. What is wrong? it is the top middle to outer part of my right foot.
Hello, Thanks for writing to us, I have studied your case with diligence. As per your history pattern there can be tear in ankle ligament leading PAIN. I will advise doing MRI ankle for soft tissue involvement. Till time, you can continue physiotherapy exercises and also use supportive splint or brace. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing. If there is complete ligament tear then arthroscopic ankle ligament repair can be done or if capsular tightness is severe then release can be done. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health.
