It is a very good possibility!. Another possibility would be that you could have a stress fracture or a hairline fracture!. That is a type of fracture that sometimes doesn't show on x rays!. I would see a doctor again, and maybe even arrange an MRI done!. Because if you did tear a muscle or get a stress fracture it wouldn't show up on an ordinary x ray but it would on an MRI!. For the time being until you can get all of that done, just elevate, and ice your ankle A LOT, and keep off of it even if you are on crutches! Good look! Hope that helps! Www@Answer-Health@Com
sounds bad a month plus a day everytime you put weight on it!. it will improve slightly every time you sleep with it resting comfortably!. When I had mine I wrapped it and elevated slightly on a foam cushion!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Your health care pro should have told you elevate the sprain above your heart, Ice the sprain keeps swelling down some aleve should help and keep off the thing for awhile the more pressure you apply now will just lengthen your time to heal! good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
Maybe, ask!. If it is sprained try to use some physical therapy or try to exercise it little!. it could be catagory 3 (worst sprain)
