Been 5 weeks for me now. Still a sharp pain when flexing foot far enough. I felt the tear happen. I knew it was bad. Probably a low grade 2 sprain for me
Mine was this morning jan.8, 2023 .I was walking where we just moved 1 day ago into our new home and slipped onna garbage bag the wrong way and heard and felt a pop in my foot below my ankle..So just trying ro stay off it.
This is more of an exam than my dr did! My ankle clicks when I walk. Even with my boot and crutches. Also the side of my leg is sore and it never crossed my mind that I could have fractured or hurt that. Makes sense. From outside of my ankle to the inside is sharp pains and I still can put all my weight on it. It feel so unstable. X-rays didn’t show anything. Mri next.
I have the exact same thing! I rolled it badly at work going down stairs, it’s been almost four days since it happened. I notice the loud popping/cracking when I walk, maybe once or twice with roughly every three steps, more so going down stairs.
Hi man, had my ankle injured 3 days ago, also no bruises or bloody marks, just some swelling that seems to start go away a slowly. I can stand on my feet, but when moving ankle to the side, it causes pain I guess it’s cuz of swelling and lingaments damage. Hope it recovers in a week. How long did it take u to go back to normal?
@@edwinasco5570 This was like one of many sprains ive had in my left ankle. I had another in march 2023 of this year....the worst being in 2015 when i fractured some bones in the ankle. Its weakened now so cant really walk around in uneven areas that are hard to see/ step.. cuz i can twist it so easily... I just try to step carefully and take stairs slow... Even running at the park I try to stay on concrete trails now no more jogging the woods ):
@@iwxw8437 ohh 🥲 it is frustrating for me the the idea that if you sprained it once, you can re-sprain it easily. This is my first sprain and I don’t know how can I restore my ankle functionality like before :( . I sprained it while running fast and wearing heals lol :XD
Hi Dr, i had a comminuted fracture of the calcaneum 4 months ago. The fracture line extended till subtalar joint. Tarsal, metatarsal and ankle joint are intact. I did not have any surgery and was allow weight bearing a month ago. However, my ankle area still swell till today. Your expertise advice is very much appreciated.
I sprained my ankle just like her, very similar case, I only feel a little pain when I twist to the right, I would say it’s the ATF ligament, I haven’t done any X-rays. Is it normal for both of my knees to hurt? It started happening after I sprained the ankle. Thanks
Thank you very much! If I could ask one question? Not that one! My ankle is swollen at least 4 times as much as your patient. The compression sock feels like it's cutting off circulation. My question is: is that normal? Should I discontinue use? Sorry, that was 2 questions.
Basketball injury for me as of 5 weeks ago now. When happened it felt like a couple "cracks" to me but now I'm sure it was a partial (I hope/think) tear, rather, of my calcaneofibular ligament.
@@ocypherowens1763 thankfully I feel a whole lot better. It's been 3 months. But I'm finally better. You need an ankle brace to support your ankle when walking so You don't roll it again. Do rehab exercises 3 times daily. Stay away from salt and added sugars as they are inflammatories. Coconut juice without sugar is an anti inflammatory for the swelling and well as apple cider vinegar. I was drinking VITACOCO brand coconut mixed with pineapple flavor juice you can find at the local grocery store. It going to require time for the ligaments to heal as they have poor blood flow. So you have to be patient for a couple months or so depending on the severity of the ankle.
doc, i hope you can help me with my sprain ankle. i have sprained my ankle and i suffer from swelling and i cant perform dorsiflexion and plantar range of motion, its already one month, i hope you can help me and give me some advice, thank you so much
Question - I sprained my ankle about 3 months ago. Thankfully my dad being a background in some medicine and has all the random medical things, was on the spot with ace wraps, knowledge of stabilizing, and even crutches. I was unable to put weight on it, rested for about 3 full days, then gradually practiced putting weight over the next days. I watched a ton of videos and thought maybe it’s a simple sprain since I didn’t see any bruising. Kept ice and elevation. Since I thought maybe a simple sprain I decided to just observe and rest instead of going to urgent care. At about 1.5 weeks or so, I realized there actually was bruising, but I figured I was healing well and it was minor since I could put some weight on it. I think by 3 weeks I was limping and ok, but with pain in the ligament spots, but also a toe. Anyway now (3 months later) I’ve been fully walking, but notice pain/aching in some spots after some walking, house work, randomly when I wake up and before bed. So … definitely more often than I expected to. If I went to get seen and an X-ray at this point, is it too late to determine damage via X-rays? Thanks for any help you can offer.
Plzzz i need ur help. My mother feels burning pain in the right leg only when she walks for 2,3 minutes.. She used pain killer, physiotherapy but did not get comfort. 😢
I sprained my ankle 3 weeks ago because I fell off the train. no fractured bones. just a torn ligament. It is very painful. I can't walk yet, there's a pulling feeling in my leg. but the pain has been greatly reduced and my feet can move and touch the ground. I don't know when it will heal. still swollen and sore in the ankle
How is your ankle now ? I sprained mine 5 weeks ago. I was put on a cast for 4 weeks and then I started walking with crutches. Yesterday, I have walked without crutches but it was a little painful. Is this normal ?
I had an ankle sprain while playing basketball it Rolled in an unusual way. its only hurts when i do dorsiflexion and and "point the toes away from shin" ( i hope i know whats the name of this motion). When the ankle rolled i didn't have that much pain so i continued playing and it went well. I came home, the next day i could walk properly can fo stuff properly but when I started working out that started to hurt again, its not a severe pain tho. What should i do?
The real means to heal is to soak the 🦶 foot in Epsom salt, add some CBD oil or evil bone water oil to the infected area, wrap it, compressed but make sure the rap is not too tight and finally raised it ...if you have one of those yoga round rollers raise your foot on top of that and as you're doing that start exercising your toes to go in and out to exercise it. Then seek cold laser treatment from a physical therapist or chiropractor to help heal it faster and reduce the pain and eventually keep exercising the foot. In less than a week you will be able to walk with crutches. In two weeks no crutches. Peace. 🎉🎉🎉
Omg thank u so much for this! I'm also 46 and about the same weight. I run, swim and walk but recently I was on vaycay at the beach and the amusement park but somewhere in between that time I hurt my ankle.(dorsal region?) I had on flip-flops on the Beach and the sand was treacherous and uneven...I also packed my old walking shoes instead of my runners by mistake and did jog intervals in my walkers..smh. I can't pinpoint where I injured it but walking down the steps is tough...walking up the steps is fine. I'm somewhat distraught because I'm probably going to have to replace my high intensity exercises with swimming and bicycling...but this video made me feel a little better. I will put on my ankle brace to keep things stable and see how it goes..
Thanks! I sprained my ankle a month ago. Had 2 xrays of ankle and top of foot. I have ligament pain and a big lump that hurts, but they said no breaks. So I guess I'll just compression sock it.
Wow her foot looks great compared to how my foot looked it was twice the size of hers and went blue with bruise 16 days later bruising has gone down everywhere apart from around ankle bone it’s still swollen I didn’t have x Ray but just resting it everyday with a compression wrap
i got an ankle sprain about 1 year ago i was suffering from pain regularly After that 1 week ago i did MRI scan its report says that TALAR NECK FOCAL EDEMA SUGGESTIVE OF CONTUSION What does it means
I recently experienced,imho, a severe inversion sprain at work and an MRI was performed about 3 weeks after; it was determined that the Peroneal Tendon suffered a tear. Unfortunately, the Podiatrist I’ve seen isnt as thorough in providing me with an overview of my injury as you have here. Right off the bat, at the 1:00 mark, your mentioning of following the fibula and checking for the maisonneuve fracture AND how I indicated to the Podiatrist im seeing how that region was severely tender. This injury occurred on 6/23 and I’m curious if you’ve ever done a Peroneal Tendon video? Thank You, this 5min video was more informative than the 2 visits I had at the specialists office. Currently seeking a second opinion in the mean time.
I feel her pain I done mine 11 and 10 years ago and I'm still feeling the pain I have to see a orthopaedic surgeon I had X rays done ....at the hospital ... The doctor told me that my foot isn't your usual foot and that I need to see a orthopaedic surgeon
I sprained my ankle 3 days ago, it's still swollen and painful. My husband suggests to get it checked by a doctor. After watching this video, I'm scared to death if doctor is going to check my ankle this way. That's too painful for me. The patient in the video was very calm...I dont know if I can do that.
Hi Dr. it’s been a year for me. I didn’t take care of properly right away. Still feeling pain. I’ve never used a boot. Torn ligaments and partial torn tendons. I really don’t want to have to have a surgery. Is it too late for a boot and other treatment. Thank you so much
Generally nonweightbearing if there’s some sort of fracture or cartilage damage. Otherwise it might just be physician preference. I’m a bit a big advocate of early weight-bearing as long as it is not causing any other damage to any other structures.
@@OrthoEvalPal thank you. I got a second opinion and he has me weight bearing now. I do have a small fracture and high ankle sprain. I’m 3.5 weeks since my injury. I’ve been walking in the boot for two days now and my foot hurts really badly…especially one of my toes. Thank you, Andrea
I have sprained my right ankle 5 weeks ago. Doctor said it is a severe ankle sprain but no fracture. I was put on a cast for 4 weeks. Then, cast was removed and I started walking with crutches. Yesterday I walked alone (no crutches) and everything was fine except that I still feel pain. Swelling has reduced significantly (there is almost no swelling). Is it normal to feel pain and should I keep walking on it or not ?
Do you think i may have a sprained ankle i jumped my right ankle twisted it didn't hurt but i heard about 5 cracks didn't think it was anything serious but hour's later it looks swollen feels shaky but no bruising also not hurting..should i get it checked out?
It’s been two days since my foot was kicked the physio said I have a sprained ligament. I think it’s a grade 2 light sprain as I am limping around as it hurts to put a bit of pressure and there is swelling still but the bruising is minimum
I like to hear more. I had a twisted ankle 2 months ago fibula malleolus fractur and small fractur the tip of the V metatarsal bumps out.( like you point out in the video. ) No displasement , lot og swelling and brusing could not walk on foot. only 3 1/2 weeks in cast, then got a support splint to wear in the day. light wheight bearing. Till swell a lot and pain around /under malleolus and back of the heal. Any comment?
I would expect that at 3.5 weeks. you will be at least 6-8 weeks before getting more comfortable walking on it. I assume you are in a walker boot now. If so, that is good.
Hi Doctor. I sprained my ankle about 9 months ago. I used some medicine. Spray and pills. But my ankle is still a bit swollen and different from the ankle of the other foot. Do you think my ankle will ever be the same as before? What do you suggest I do?
Hey Paul, on Nov 5 I sprained my ankle pretty bad but I’m not sure what grade it is. I was on crutches and moved to a boot but not on a doctors order and an urgent care doctor said I should’ve been wrestling last Friday but I couldn’t even put weight on it. Some symptoms are pain while walking, pain when I bend my foot and ankle and unbearable pain bending my ankle on foot with a little bit of weight. I am doing PT but I want to know what I should do, should I get an MRI?, my ankle mobility nor pain tolerance has been better since last Wednesday, or I should see a sports doctor but they’re expensive and it’s around the holidays and I don’t want my parents to pay for it but I want to know what’s best and also want to give my coaches a clear answer of what happened.
I have a lot of inflammation in the ankle area and the doctor told me it was a grade 3 sprain is that normal? And I think that I feel the popped ligaments moving
You would have had to have a big ankle sprain to get a grade 3. Did you rule this out...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6hxspVKJMsI.html
I had a ankle legment injury and unable to walk so doctor out me cast. After 9 days I felt suddenly tight and took if with knife. Do I need to again go for the cast
I rolled my ankle yesterday at cheer practice. It didn’t really hurt that much right away, but about an hour later it really started hurting. Now I can barely walk or move it but it isn’t really swollen or bruised. Do you think there’s a chance that it could be broken or sprained?
mri results: Anterior talofibular ligament tear or rupture. Portions of the ligament sag into the capsule? Calcaneofibular: Subtle partial delamination of the calcaneofibular ligament from the fibula? Joint Effusion: 1+ out of 4 effusion without intraarticular body. CONCLUSION: Mostly single part ligament rupture involving the anterior talofibular ligament What does all this mean please, what grade would you say it is? thanks
I had a horseback riding fall the other day. Went to the ER they said they didnt see any fractures in the ankle. There is bruising on the inside of the ankle (left food was injured) I cannot bare any weight, even laying down is very painful. They sent me home with a air splint that wasn't helping alleviate any of the pain. I have severe pain on both sides of my ankle but its worse on the inside of the ankle.
I had fallen off the horse and landed on my shoulder, ribs and somehow in the process of the fall injufed my ankle, we think it got hung up in the stirrup and when I landed I injured it more.
Hi! I was wearing crocs while walking and twisted my ankle! There is a mild pain when I walk on it and no brusing. I don't think it's a sprain though. Should I go see a dr?
If she were to have her foot dangle from the table there, but need to hold her foot “up” , that it not let it fall to a hanging position, would that indicate anything specific? Asking for a “friend”. 😆
Thank you I just hurt my left ankle on the same side as the woman on the video. It's so painful and I have the exact same pains, bruising, and can't turn or extend it. It's very swollen. I'm 30 and I can walk on it, But it gets so, so, so painful. Thank you for this. I wish you were my doctor.
I need your help ASAP I am tender right underneath the ankle bone on the out side and tenderness in between the two bones on the inside of the ankle it hurts to go down the stairs but I can put weight on it should I go in
Dear Dr, recently I was diagnosed with a 5th metatarsal injury and ankle, I've had X rays and Ultrasounds, I was in a boot for 8 weeks, why I'm I getting shocks from that area and terrible pain, almost as though the bone is protruding through. Herewith are my results. Right ankle. Left ankle is fractured and it's stayed fractured never healed. For 3 years now
@@OrthoEvalPal good afternoon I have seen 2, 1 wanted to inject the left ankle to remove the fluid after 3 years, 2nd opinion said no. I'll send you the reports please, please can you read them and advise
@@OrthoEvalPal It happened on the 9th. I kinda walked on it today. A little swelling. Back off my feet. 4 weeks aye... Okay... My mind hasn't realized I'm 60 yet but my body's saying slow down girl. Thank you so much for answering. 🙂
Hi doc,I think that I have the same problem as the lady in the video above.I went for an xray and the doctor tell me that i have a shift on my angle.Notice also that i have a swelling and so i have to wait for a month.however the swelling just stop this week but the pain still dont stop,making it difficult for me to walk.what should I do next?
Oh no. This takes a long time to heal, not just a few days, more like two weeks. Just be extra careful not to trip again, that takes another two weeks.
I got an x-ray and practically zero evaluation. All my doctor asked was what my pain level was and I said an 8. I'm 6 days post injury and the inside of my ankle hurts SO BAD. I feel heavily like something was missed or that I really need an MRI. Just rubbing your hand over the inside of my ankle sends me thru the roof.
I sprained my ankle 2 months ago and had my X-ray done, there was no farcture. The doctor looked at it and prescribed some meds. Since then, the swelling has gone down and, I can walk and also comfortably jog but it hurts on the fibula (especially where the peronial tendons and cfl meet, and all around the bulging part of the fibula) when I run or press the medial side of my heel to my bed or something. My foot looked exactly like the lady's in this video when I sprained it, and it is still a little swollen around the fibula and the cfl. I have tried everything. What can I do??
@@AnnnnnaQ I tried it. Didn't work. It's quite alright now. But it's not like how it used to be. I have to play football wrapping bandage in my ankle now
I didn’t hear a crack/pop, but that’s probably because I was flying through the air like an action movie, or so my coworker said. Barely missed the jump, caught my heel and got a nice little grade 1 inversion Thanks for the video
Sir my daughter felt from d bed on 4th Feb 2022,after that she refused to stand on her feet.we took her to the hospital.dr. Said that there was no fracture,crack or ligament tear case. Ankle sprain was the reason. Dr suggested for ice compression and ibugesic plus medicine for 5days.Now she can walk but she is limping slightly.when I move her feet up and down there is nothing but there is slight pain clockwise anticlockwise movement. Now it's 11days. Sir is there any reason for worry about?
Hello doc. I had a recent twist. It was painful in the first few days but after about a week I could walk slowly and now it has been a month and I can properly walk only that I can’t walk fast and like in the video when I walk down the stairs there is stiffness. There is still a slight swelling in that area but I am able to rotate my ankle in all direction without pain to an extent. How long does it normally take for complete recovery? Is there any other video of you that might help me in recovery? The remaining swelling is in the exact area shown in the video.
It can take about 2 months Foot and ankle strengthening: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b4yfxD55ImM.html Best calf stretch: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XMS0MoRyLHE.html Compression sock for swelling: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6IF7_lgB91Q.html
Hey doc.. I have one more issue. Now I can walk properly and go up and down the stairs without much issue. But the swelling is still there. Not too much but there is a small swell in the joint area of ankle. Will the exercises suggested make the swell come down?
I have a sprain from...no lie. Almost ten years ago.it started to really bother me three years ago, went to physical therapy didn't really commit to exercising it. Now, it feels so weak and really bad dull pain deep inside on left (right foot) and deep front. Going to get get it checked out soon. It doesn't seem like it'd be a bone - it's been so long. But I am fed up. Only relief is when I do ( pretty intense) stretching with bands! It's like the MORE resistance the better it feels 🙆🏾😩 anything I should mention? Should I go to pcp or just right to Ortho?
Thank you for the recommendation for compression!!! K-Taped and then wore compression socks all day and now the immediate pain os gone! Thank you! (My main pain was in my fibula that radiated to my ankle, tho my ankle was a bit swollen)
I sprained my ankle today and went to the emergency room for X-rays, they took X-rays, told me no bones were broken so it’s a sprain and told me I can’t walk on it and gave me an ace bandage. They never even looked at my actual foot or did any sort of evaluation! After seeing this I feel like I should see an orthopedic dr
I suffer of hip Arthosis and I believe that the origin is the ankle. Sometimes when I was young the ankle twisted with pain. I do not know if therere is a remedial to this tendency of my ankle that I think is related to my flat feet?
Dear sir, I had fifth meta tarsal base fracture in my right leg, after that Dr. Had put cast for one and a half month and than removed it. After removing cast my ankle got swelled, I can walk but not more, my thumb and fingers base are paining, my ankle heel is paining, I can't walk easily, I am limping, swelling on both side of ankle, its 5 days over of my cast removal, , one more thing my injured leg calf muscles are very loose as compared to right calf, please guide,
Is it okay to go for work after an akle sprain with 3 weeks of full rest?i heard that it may take around 6 weeks for it to heal..but unfortunately i have to go for work before that.Will it cause further injury to my leg?
I hurt my ankle at gymnastics and I heard a pop, I iced it but the swelling didn't go down. It hurts to touch a little above the tip of the ankle bone and the muscle that goes up the leg, but only like an inch up, is this normal for a sprained ankle or did I just roll my ankle
I am a teacher and sprained my ankle a year ago while coming down the stairs. Xray showed no fracture but MRI showed inflammatory synovitis with mild ankle joint effusion. I had no option to quit the job at that time, so I took no rest and kept working all days. I used to get cramps and pain while standing, walking, climbing stairs and swelling by the end of the day. The injury became more serious and I had to quit the job. It's been almost 2 months now I have been resting at home. But still I can't walk properly and my ankle shows stiffness, redness, swelling and burning pain. I can climb the stairs but can't go down the stairs easily. It really hurts. I feel hopeless and helpless thinking that my ankle has been permanently damaged. Not understanding what to do.... totally fed up now.☹️😫 Someone please suggest what should be done?
This is invaluable. I did my own exam following you in slo mo, and now understand what I've done. It's so painful anterior and posteria but only two days in so I'll ice and compress. Thanks heaps.
Hi, thanks for informative videos on real clients scenarios. I wanted to know the ankle drawer test and talar tilt test is positive or negative as we don't see much instability in this case.
