Answers:
Well did you go to the DR!? You if you haven't gone there should, Otherwise elevate, rest, and ice it!. Hopefully the swelling goes down!. How did you hurt it!? Maybe you did more then dislocate it!. If it hasnt healed when the DR told you it should, you should go in again!. I hurt my foot, they said it was a sever sprain, it wasn't healing so i went back in and they may have found something worse!. You should go in because if it is something else that doesn't heal propally then you could get worse problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Did you get ex-rays!? I know that sounds dumb but if it keeps getting dislocated it may lead to more serious problems!. I would go back and have it re-checked!. Best of luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
