I really need some solid medical advice about my r ankle I am in pain!!!!?

I crushed my R ankle (tib &fib) in '01 I had to have metal rods and screws in the calf and ankle. Here is the deal I have horrible pain from the arch and just above there where the bone enters my ankle, I had PT over & over and they thought it was the muscle,more xrays and they say arthritis, but why does it swell w/ any exertion or even after a day of play, and the pain goes in a line from my arch up to my knee., here is the odd thing it hurts to stand but once there is pressure on the joint from my body weight it lessens a bit, but go to sit dwn or prop it up, lay in bed and AGGG!!~ It almost feels like it dislocated when I prop it up.. I really need help and not the GO TO DR...My family is broke as a joke rt now and if someone could help I would be so greatful

Regardless of you ability to pay , you need to see a doctor. Go to the emergency room when you are in pain, they certainly will do an x ray. You may also need a neurological study, sound like it could be tarsal tunnel syndrome, just like carpal tunnel but it involves the nerve that travels thru the ankle. Believe me I know how painfull that can be , it can hurt the bottom of the foot up to the knee and is excrutiating, it can also make the foot swell. I too have not insurance and am in the same delima, how do it get it fixed!
