Ankle problem? need help from orthopedic surgeon/equivalent?!
Question: so i sprained my ankle about 5.5 months ago, and it was a partial tear of some ligaments. i had it checked out for a fracture and there was none. however, there is significant pain when i try applying a lot of pressure on my foot in certain positions. i have rested my ankle quite decently, but i did play activites and such so i did not give it a complete rest. it hurts on the tendon that lies just above the ridge of bone extending down to my big toe on the right side of my left ankle. it hurts when i squat down sort of or if i bend my knees while keeping my back straight. can you tell me whats wrong with my ankle/what i can do to improve it?

You should see your physician as soon as you can. You may be causing further damage.
wow thats bad...see a better doctor if your normal one isnt really doing anything. Im not an expert with meds. but try pain killers.
I think you should see a doctor. Good luck on finding a orthopedic surgeon/equivalent on yahoo answers!
