Really weird injury, and treatment?!


Question: Really weird injury, and treatment!?
Allright I have somehow managed to half way tear the tendon away from my bone on my ankle by walking!. (this has been two weeks ago total)

I went to the doctor a little over a week ago and he gave me a brace, and then I have to go to therapy (foot ultrasound!?!?)

yeah so I don't know why I'm not on crutches, because my cousin who is a doctor (orthopedic surgeon) says that I should be after his aunt (my mom) told him what happened!.

why am I not, and what is a foot ultrasound, is it just like an ultrasound that they do when you are pregnant!?

I'm 15 by the way so bear with me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Well if you're wearing a brace there isn't much more you can do until the details of the ultrasound come back!. The brace keeps the tendon from pulling further away from the bone, and I'm sure the doctor told you that walking would be annoying for a while!.

The ultrasound is similar to the pregnancy one!. They are looking at the ligaments, tendons, and bones is your foot!. It isn't going to hurt, and it's nothing to be worried about!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

if you are 15!.!.!.!.talk to your parents about this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
