Last year, x6, 400lbs steel plates fell on my right foot; breaking 6 bones and damaging the mortise of my ankle. My foot looked like a roasted pork shoulder for 4 months and was in a wheel chair for half a year. Simple things in life like taking a shower was an adventure. I walk now but with a limp. I cant pivot my foot, I cant go up ladders, I cant even apply the brakes on a car anymore, even if i step on a pebble with my boots on, it hurts like hell. The top of my foot feels like its asleep. My doctors says no surgery is required because there was no displacement. IS there a possibility ill get better one day?
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to discover rehab ankle sprain try Fezervin Ankle Fixer Coach (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend got excellent results with it.
I have a question, today I was playing soccer and hurt my foot, the place where my cuboid bone is swollen, and a little bruised... Also, it hurts to put weight on it and it is the first day, should I see a doctor?
@Dr. David Geier I recently hit the outside of my ankle right where the funny bone of your elbow would be. Is there any thing in that area on the bone and soft tissue to the side that could be damaged? Thank you.
Hello doctor unfortunately I just slipped and fell on my foot. I heard and felt it pop and the pain is getting much and much worse that I can’t put any type of pressure on that foot. Also I can’t move my foot upwards but a little downwards. I can move my toes tho. Please let me know what you think. Thank you.
I've sprained my ankle before and it hurt so bad that I would cry when I walked and my mom never took me to the doctor but I should've gone but she said I was being over dramatic and she said that I wasn't limping all the time but you can walk on a most sprained ankles but it hurt to do that
I got kicked in the ankle really hard today at soccer. I tried to play it off because I'm not one to cry. I started walking instead of running, and because I'm a mid feild I should be running a lot. One of my team mates got mad at me for not running, so I started running again. I tried to act like it didn't hurt and over time I felt better. When I got home and took off my boots it hurt even more. I've been walking weird and my whole foot hurts. I really don't know what to do. Please help me
Thank you doc! X rays were negative just the pain ,swelling and coloring suggested not to walk on it for a few days however with your testimony i will begin therapy without waiting for an mri
Hi doctor, my ankle feels like someone is stabbing me when I put pressure on it and when I try to walk I am limping. I am still in elementary school and have to do cross country and my teacher says to just walk but my mom says to get it checked out. What should I do???😥😥
Hi, I wrote this on the 20th March 2017 (day the injury happened) I am 11 years old and today I was playing football and I was running to my friend and as I got half way there my ankle twisted and bent sideways ->. And it was hurting for half the match. Later I went to get the ball as I was out of control because the pain was still there a bit, whereas I did it again but I was running even faster! And it really hurt so I told the manager about it and he gave me cold spray. I sat out and when I got home my mum gave me a frozen pea bag and my dad looked at it (as my dad has broken his ankles several times). He predicts I fractured something or tore a tissue. It is now 9:15 (English time) and it hasn't gotten any better. What would you say? 😕
My grandson woke up with a swollen foot with his foot turned in looks like it's cramped up... The pain is on the inside of the ankle... He can't put weight onto it.... I thought he was at it because schools back in 6days... I'm away to call a doc.. Thank you for sharing your videos with the world 🌎
All 3 of those are me. I woke up one morning and my foot randomly started to hurt and I didn't know why. In fact I still don't. I thought the pain would go away but the next day or two it started to feel worse. The day after that I told my mom and she said I might of sprained my foot, but my friend said I might of fractured it bc she had the same pain but it wasn't as bad. The next day before I ate dinner my mom gave me two creams to put on my foot. One was this numbing stuff and the other was a mussel pain reliever. I put it on and when I woke up the next morning (which is now) the pain got worse in a way. I was slowly moving my blanket off of me but the slightest move of my foot causes so much pain if I don't move it for a while. This is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me and I'm not used to any of this😣😣
Littke TK same case with me Can you please let me know how did it get healed. Same pain I’m suffering for 3 months and more now. Doctors ask me to take pain killer, and rest but how long is that possible
I twisted my ankle yesterday and I heard a pop, so I bandaged and iced it, but I twisted it again this morning getting out of bed. Do you guys think it’s broken or just sprained? I can barely walk on it or move it.
From now on, I am taking my kids to the doctor for all things related to bone/muscle. I don't care if I'm 100% sure of what's going on and we can treat it at home. My 10 year old displayed none of these signs when he rolled his ankle while stepping off of a step stool, we treated it as a sprain and he continued on playing his football season. I kept asking how his ankle was feeling and he said fine. He was walking on it normally, he had no swelling or bruising.... Fast forward a few months and he tells me his ankle is hurting, so I immediately make him a doctor's appointment. The nurse called today and said that he has had a prior fracture!!!!! I feel AWFUL!! I have taken this child to the doctor for a thousand things that were absolutely nothing...and the one time that i don't, it was broken?! Never again.
I have a stress fracture in my foot and it was caused by my school because everyday we had to run a mile and I went to the dr and they told me thank you for your help
Hey Doc! In the past few months I've noticed that one of my ankles feels 'loose' and I hear a cracking sound whenever I try to rotate it. Now I've also noticed that I tend to favour one side when walking almost as if it can no longer support my weight. I'm not sure when this happened or how to approach fixing it. I'd love some advice if you can help. Thanks!
Yesterday I got a bad ankle injury in lacrosse because I slipped and someone else's leg pushed my foot completely backwards. It slightly black and blue, I can't put much weight on it, and in school today I was limping and Ive been icing it but nothing seems to be helping. Should I go see a doctor
My ankle swelling got worse since my pain started last week after a few hours of singles PICKELBALL play. I saw a Podiatrist yesterday! Ice was making ankle swell worse so I'm now doing heat therapy. If swelling doesn't go down in two weeks, I will go for an MRI. YOUR TIPS WERE PRICELESS!!! Great video!!!
My son is 11. Had a knee injury 2 days ago then today it popped and he cant put pressure on it. He came home limping on it. I'm taking him to the hospital tomorrow
I had a fall while hiking and thought I sprained my ankle. It was swollen and sore but it got a bit better over time but after a few weeks it seemed to stop making much improvement. I went to an orthopedic clinic and they took an x-ray. They said the alignment on the fibula wasn’t good. They would have tried to set it but the healing was too far progressed. They gave me a brace and sent me to physical therapy. It continued to heal slowly. It took about two years to get back 100%.
I have a bit of a long-term question- I sprained my right ankle (grade II sprain) about 7 years ago, and I was on crutches for about 6-7 weeks and then went through 2-3 months of additional physical therapy to restrengthen it to get back in shape for a national tournament. However, for about the past 10-12 months I've been getting a searing and burning (sometimes tingling pain) in the same ankle and it runs up to the bottom of my knee, and it hurts for maybe 3-4 days a week and then becomes dull, and then comes back a few days later. The part that has me worried is that I've noticed that sometimes when I'm walking, instead of my toes on that foot pointing forward my foot will angle maybe 30 degrees or so to the outside and it'll drag on the ground and make me almost trip over it- like I'm not picking it up high enough or something.... i brushed it off as being clumsy and not looking where I was going at first but it kept happening- noticeably 2-3 times a day or so. What should I do to address the pain and the foot dragging? I'm only 25 so I hate feeling like this sometimes
The day after I hurt my foot, I showed my friend it, and he said that it looked like I had hit a vein. After looking at it, I can see that as a possibility. I still would like to know symptoms of hitting a vein on the top of your foot, because I can't really tell, nor can my parents. It has been getting better over time, I have been stretching it, and doing things normally on it. And I feel it is getting better. The first day it was swollen and puffy. Now it is just sore when I put pressure with my fingers on it. What do you thing? I have no idea.
Sir I injured my left ankle 8months ago. I started physio therapy n all medication but I doesn't work . Wt to do sir. It still hurts when I starts playing ... And it still unstable
I tore my ankle ligament, one of the ones on the outside, and have been wondering if ligaments grow back...I know tendons do but what about ligaments?????especially ankle ligaments.
Hi doctor, I am in gymnastics and my ankle REALLY has been hurting. I don't know if I should go to the doctors or what. I don't limp THAT much, but it hurts when I run sometimes, and when I do gymnastics. It has been hurting sense November of last year. Please reply, and tell me what I should do. Thank you!!🤗😭😭😭😭
if i twist my foot round and round it hurts and then stop I can walk properly but what happend is I was walking and I was wearing slippers and my foot slipped from the slipper I don't know what to do
Hi Doctor, I went to the doctor with ankle pain for a year. They said that they think it is tendinitis. I had to wear a boot for 3 weeks and my ankle was supposed to get better. My ankle just starts hurting more and more each day. I go to middle school and I do gymnastics. My ankle slows me down, and it just hurts TOOO much to jump on the like bounciest trampoline ever. It's a little swollen and I can barely put any wait in it. I limp all the time. I can't stand up straight, and I always elevate it when I'm sitting. I wince in pain every single day. My mom doesn't know if this is a serious injury or not, because last time I went to a orthopedist they said that it wasn't that bad.
4:23...yes I was at the skatepark two hours ago. I messed up a drop in . I can barely walk. My right ankle hurts so bad. I put ice and I'm waiting until tmrw. If it's not getting any better I'll skip school and go see a doctor or smth I guess. I'm really scared that it might be fractured :/
You might have Osteoarthritis, which is similar to arthritis. It usually begins in middle age and slowly progresses Over time the cartillage between the bones become worn down, resulting in pain and joint problems. I how this helped :)
Sir can i walk if my toe is buddy taped with the adjacent toe.? Actually I m diagnosed with a hairline fracture in my 5th toe. Please I really need your suggestion whether I can walk or not
Great video! Quick question. I have twisted, sprained my right ankle several times over the years. Each time I went to the doctor, they would simply wrap it up for two weeks, no standing or walking. About 2 years ago, I was at work, having been wearing steel toe boots for several years prior, I attempted to move a pallet that was wedged against the interior of the trailer. It would not budge, so I pulled with all my might. I believe that I applied so much pressure onto my ankle and foot by doing this. The next day I went back to work and completed the day, but by the end of the day, my foot and ankle had swollen so bad I was limping. I had to stop going to work for about two weeks, I lost the job and all. I would walk around on it, just limping, hoping that I could get it to come back to life quicker. So, I recently started a new job, I had been going to the gym since Jan., getting my body stronger, haven't had any issues, other than some flexing restriction like squatting down. I only lasted 4 days at this new job, before my foot and ankle became so painful and swollen once again. I would like your input please. I am trying to decide if I need to go to a specialist or is there something I can do at home without racking up another doctors bill. My research has led me to believe that maybe I have fractures throughout my foot and ankle. How long should it take for these to heal with proper treatment? Thank you.
Last night I was trying my round off backflip and it didn’t really hurt at all but then this morning it hurts to where I can’t put my whole body weight onto it and it hurts a little when I roll it around. should I get checked out 🤷♀️
I suggest getting it checked out I had the same problem so I just wrapped it iced it and elevated it and it didn’t help so I got it checked out and I ended up fracturing it
Hello, I've stood on my ankle awkwardly but after a day I could walk normally, but as days pass on I saw my ankle bruised but I'm not feeling pain at all so should I go to the Doctors..?
You probably just had a little stretch in one of you ligaments in your ankle. The bruising happens naturally and thats when you know its sprained. The bruising goes away in a week or so depending on your injury. Just try to do some ankle strengthening exercises and stretch before workouts.
I ruptured a tendon and didn't even know it. I had swelling and pain. First visit had X-ray showed a little swelling, pain and swelling went on and finally got an MRI and then it was found.
Missed a step, heard a pop went to the er xrays done was told it's a bad sprain 3 days ago. Swelling hasn't gone away, cannot put any weight on it at all without pain shooting up my leg. What would be my next recourse?
hi doctor , I am a good runner in our school but my ankle is worse than it looks and it shape like puff in my right leg give me solution for this😔😔😔😭😭I am from🇮🇳
I got my my ankle injury almost 2 years ago and until now I can experience so much pain when I am sprinting or jumping but I can walk normally. Can it be possibly back it to normal even a long time ago???
I have had eversion sprain ankle for almost three years, it happened during a soccer game. I stopped playing for 2 years never recovered there is movement restriction tilting my foot up or down, can't bear weight on it at all, I have a lump under ankle bone in the inside of my foot. I would appreciate your help. Many thanks
Same , played soccer , was the fastest on the pitch but suddenly in 1 day i couldnt even run , there is lump just like you under the ankle bone and just cant run on my toes , just like i used to run.
Hello Dr. I had an accident with my bike. I basically was in the street, but along the curb and I was distracted for a split second and next thing I know, I felt a pull in my ankle but neither felt nor heard a crack or pinch. It hurt almost instantly but it didn't swell not bruise or discoloration right away. I didn't go to the doctor (because I don't have insurance) but I had a nurse of 30 yrs in the family check it out. Her initial analysis (which was 12 hrs after the accident) was that I definitely sprained and popped some vessels, but it didn't appear broken. No it has been 24 hrs. I have been RICEing and talking ibuprofen as well as drinking bone broth and taking vitamin C and Cal-Mag-Zinc supplements. I am a physical therapist major and was sent to this link as well as another that was more detailed on how to check for break vs sprain. And the actual bones do not hurt. But the ligaments themselves definitely hurt. After the first 24, I have more obvious swelling and some darker discoloration. But I can't determine if it's a high second degree sprain or a low 3rd degree. Do you have anymore specific or detailed advice before I go to the med clinic? I just really don't want to end up in debt unless I have to. I know that sounds silly, but please humor me. Any more suggestions or advice on what to look for?
I injuried my foot and ankle while trying to change a tire and landed on my foot wrong and it rolled the wrong way. I heard a snap and felt tremindious pain and my ankle got hot. I emidiately iced it and elevated it but the swelling was really bad! There was tremendous amount of bruising and I was not able to bare weight on it until 5th day and still the swelling continued and bruising spread from my last four toes all the way above my ankle and the pain still continues! I use advil , ice and an ace wrap!
I was playing basketball with my friends, and this guy takes a jump shot and lands on my foot. The pain is excruciating! I am limping, too. It sucks...😅
I started doing yoga when I was in high school. I didn't go to a class or anything, but I found a book called 28 days to yoga and simply followed what I learned in there until I got hooked. While trying to make my legs cross like so many pictures I'd seen in the book, I one day pushed too hard and I pulled something in my ankle. Since then, It's never been the same. A few years later, I ran my first mile and to celebrate, I decided to run another mile the next day even though I felt a lot of pain in the same ankle. I know this was a big mistake because I limped and couldn't run for about a month afterwards. Since then, any running aggravates my ankle and sometimes even cycling will do it too. Now, over ten years later, I still have ankle pain - sometimes I don't even have to be running and it hurts. I'm worried that the doctor will just tell me to take it easy and won't do much. What do you suggest?
I was playing a game a church and I tried to hit the ball, then my foot twisted and I fell down. My mom said if it gets worse she will take me to the doctor because I limp around the house and sometimes have to take a brake. This happened 11/18/2016.
I could really use your opinion. No foot doctor takes my insurance and I don't have the funds to be looked at. I injured my foot on the treadmill due to being careless and going barefoot. I'm now experiencing pain on the bottom arch of my left foot going toward the joint of my big toe. It happened four days ago and feels fine when I'm off it. When I walk and put pressure on my big toe, I feel the pain in my joint and arch. I try walking on my heal or left side more to not stress it. I don't know what to do. I know a person that has similar symptoms and has been dealing with the crippling pain for over two years.
I slammed my foot on a wall😂 and now it really hurts. I can't flex it or anything, and it hurts to put any weight on it, but it feels a little better if I sit. Should I see a doc?
Wishful Whisks OMG when I was 7 I was doing cartwheels on my grandmas bed (bad idea ik) and I hit my ankle really hard on my grandmas wooden headboard of the bed 😂
I have sharp pain especially in the morning at I section of anterior tibialis at the cuneiform bone but MRI states no fracture. What can cause this pain? Thank you!

I think I sprained my ankle on my scooter but my mom thinks I might have fractured it because the pain is slowly getting worse and I can’t stand on it at all, but if I just put an ice pack on it and watch a TH-cam video it kind of goes away. What do I do?😢☹️
My mom wouldn't care I could have a small break or a mild sprain and she won't take me she thinks I'm always over dramatic even if I cry when I walk she just doesn't care but if she takes me she gets really mad at me
I mule kicked a tire to get it loose off of a car but ended up kicking the axle instead. My heel hurt excruciatingly but I could still walk if I gritted my teeth. 2 years later I have fibular ankle pain that goes up to my knee and I have signs of a torn meniscus and lack of mobility. Is what I'm feeling now a kind of ankle injury? Or is that seemingly unrelated?
My ankle randomly started hurting during a softball game then kept getting worse and I have had 3 x rays I wore a brace for an entire year and 3 years later still in pain 😂

Hi. I have sprained my ankle mutiple times over the years. I'm only sixteen I have been to all kinds of doctors nothing helps. I have tried to strengthen my ankles but I still end up spraining them. I do overpronate so it causes my ankles to roll. Do you know any good, effective excersises that could help?
"Hi Dr Geier, "Yes, I believe I have a ankle, injury, but do not know how sever. 'm 58 yrs of age , workout, stay fit and I play soccer solo with skills and drills for a year now. I felt some difference when I started wearing cleats, and one day twisted my left ankle with an unbalanced forceful kick. Had trouble walking on it for 2 weeks, and I started to rehab it on my own gradually. It has been 5 months now and I can still play, but a slight pain comes back after playing where I still walk sideways on that foot. What do you think I'm doing wrong? Thank You again Dr Geier ~
I have had a Tendon Strain before and I am concerned that I have strained that Tendon again. Should I see a doctor? ( I have had this pain for over a week now).
Hi I hurt my ankle a week or two ago running on some hiking trails and it was swollen a bit and slightly bruised. It’s been almost two weeks and it still hurts Im walking normal but when I do I feel my ankle pop. Feels like something is popping out of place or like a elastic sorta. I’m 14 btw don’t Know if that matters but could you please give me a opinion? I would really appreciate it I’ve had trouble participating in taekwondo.
Posterior ankle pain following a grade III sprain 6 months ago- sharp pain in the joint, especially bad when in dorsiflexion, climbing up/ down stairs. CBA going to the doctor if they are just going to say to rest, ice, NSAIDS it... any simialr experienceS? does it need looking at again? pain is quite severe means im limping sometimes
Lmao I got bored and decided to cut the grass and somehow slipped on the curb and sprained my foot. FML. What are some of the reasons why anyone else is here ?
i stepped down the stairs wrong and fell down the remaining 5 steps, landing with my ankle under my body facing inward. I have two or three auditions for dance and modeling in the next week and I don't know what to do. My ankle feels like its being stabbed every time i apply pressure. Im freaking out.
I was running back to a trailhead down a mountain. Traction gave way, inverted left ankle and felt and here something pop. Worried I ruptured a ligament. Swelling and pain, pain walking for 10 days. Used a ankle brace for 9 weeks. Pain was down enough to start doing ankle exercises about 9 weeks after injury-resistance bands and writing ABC's. Seem to be at a stand still with recovery. Almost at e months now. Cant invert ankle without feeling resistance and pain, which is better than a month ago when I could not even do foot inverstions with muscle strength alone. Can't push off with my left foot as when I go to start running or jump without 'feeling' my ankle, then pain four to five strides in. Should I stick with course I'm on-RICE and mobility exercises or is there something more I can do?
ah... i was playig football and someone missed the ball and kicked and also hooked my ankle... i was rooling on the ground for about 20 mins... and after i rested it and because i love the sport i couldnt resist i took my jersey and tied the ankle in a hook like manner and played.... later on i limped ... and the nex morning after i had the ankle massaged ... i cant walk on it and... rotation is limited...also swelling increased but...pain has reduced... and atm i cant stand or walk
I’ve been having a lot of pain on my ankle and i have been to the doctor 3 times and they have all said it’s a sprain and i have had it for like 8 months and my foot is tilted sideways when i walk and i can’t walk normally it’s not that i don’t want to but i can’t it especially hurts on the Talus.
I was pitching in softball and I drifted back to avoid a line drive up the middle and the guy popped it up in front of home plate. So I quickly planted my right foot behind me to sprint in for the catch and my foot popped. It felt like the ball of my foot and big toe were the part that popped. I was able to continue playing cautiously, but pain began to spread after. I've got an ice pack on it now and the pain is throughout my foot. Hoping for it to just be sore for the next few days. Thoughts?
Am a basketball player and had a stress fracture of the metatarsal.The swelling is not painfull but does not subside. I have seen doctors who have not offered any solution.Its really frustrating.What do you recommend i should do,,
I dislocated my left foot five months ago with no breaks. The foot was put back in place the same day by the orthopaedic on call at the hospital. I followed up with the ortho in his office twice. He did not perform an MRI, but prescribed PT. I am still limping and I have some shooting pain in the outside of my heel. I worry that the tears may have been more significant than he thought. Do you think it's worth having an MRI done?
Hi doctor, I rolled my ankle a week or two weeks ago and it is still hurting. I limp sometimes but it comes and goes. I'm not sure if I should go and see a doctor or go to A&E.
I was walking and got wet leaves on my foot slipped hit the boney part on the corner of the wall them onto the strep then the floor, I heard a loud bang and a slight crack as I fell into the bins. Should I see a doctor as I can barely walk, and there is quite a lot of swelling and bruising. I currently my foot up and have ice on it to try and reduce the swelling. I'm currently in excruciating pain
Twisted Cookie does it hurt when you move you’re foot side to side cause that is what’s happening to me I can’t walk and it’s super swollen, also it hurts when I press it on the bone, lmk what you did please
I ended up spraining 1 tendon and 1 ligament in 2 places I was bedridden for 2 days then had to walk with crutches for 48hours, after I was allowed to put weight on it. I gradually put more and more weight on until I could walk with a limp, I still limp a little bit but it is mostly healed now. I also wrapped it in a bandage to support it.
I have an Ankle injury from jumping and landing weird I have a soreness up the front outside edge of my shin and have been off of it for about four days but it is still pretty sore wondering if this is a grade 1 2 or 3 sprain.

I sprained my ankle in soccer and then I worked three shifts at work and played in my next game all over the course of the next 3 days. My foot is now hurting all the time. It’s not a horrible pain, I’ve had worse, but not only does it hurt to walk, it also just feels off. I have an appointment tomorrow to get my foot X-rayed and I’m hoping it’s not a fracture! I haven’t had a ton of swelling or discoloration but I didn’t when I broke my wrist either. Here’s hoping🤞🏼
I broke the 5th Metatarsal a week ago Saturday. Went to the Podiatrist, took x-rays, and said yep it's broke. Gave option of boot or cast. I chose the boot. Anyway, about three days ago I started having really bad burning pain in my foot and pressure like stabbing pain when my foot is not elevated. I wonder is this a normal thing?
Hi doctor, I hurt my ankle when i was playing soccer I jumped to hit the ball with my head, but my landing was terrible I landed sideways on my foot and heard a pretty loud cracking sound. I immediately went to the hospital and got an x-ray thankfully it isn't broken, however it's very painful and it swelled up but there's no bruising. Can you please help me understand what to expect over the coming weeks?
About 3 years I was diagnosed with Charcot and Rheumatoid. Just had a relapse. Pain increases with walking. It’s better with the Afo, but still can’t walk too far. It is healing, but taking a long time.
Hello, I was working Monday when a trailer hitch fell off a shelf, bounced and hit me on top of the ankle. Swelling and pain but little bruising. As a prior EMT-I, I have done all of protocol for the injury but am still in A LOT of pain and is swelling more so at night. What advice can you give being I am now on 48+ hours dealing with this with no improvement or results. Thank you in advance.
I sprained my ankle VERY badly over 2 years ago. I went to a lot of physio, it healed eventually, but I couldn't put weight on it for close to 2 months. It gets stiff every so often, but other than that I haven't had problems, and even started training for a half marathon (ran up to 16km with zero problems). I took a few months off of running (race got cancelled) but started back up 2 days ago. I did a slow 5k and my ankle felt fine throughout, as it always does, and fine during the rest of the day as well. However, yesterday I started experiencing some pain, then began limping because of it. I thought I would rest it and ice it as much as possible and see what happens. Today the pain is the same or worse. The pain is located in my ankle in the same place I felt pain when I sprained it, as well as a new sharp pain in the bottom of my foot when I walk. I have put my old brace on and have scheduled physio for tonight. I have been looking for answers online, and I keep seeing articles about stress fractures. I am worried that I ran too far too fast with an ankle that hadn't seen exercise in 1-2 months. Is a stress fracture a possibility? Or is it more likely that my old injury is just acting up?
Hi doctor, I do Maui Thai and while training yesterday, I was kicking the pads hard and I did some Sparring and I woke up today feeling a sharp pain in my upper foot and I’m limping, what should I do ?
I took a foul ball off the ankle no pain anymore except in running I’m not sure if it’s lack of mobility. What do you think that would be, a bone bruise
I have had a really bad ankle twist, I got an x-ray done and saw an orthopedic doctor and he said that it’s nothing serious it’s about 20 days now I’m still limping, still on medicine and applying applicant recommended by the doctor, my ankle still has a swelling and I can’t walk straight. I hope you can help on this.
Hi Doc This pain started on Sunday but I didn't think anything of it, other than it would go away. But like you suggested, I'm now limping and feeling shooting pains up my leg due to this. I work in a school and can't really have anytime off seeing as we've just come back from our 6wks sch holiday. It throbs sometimes when I elevate it! The pain comes from under and to the side of the big toe on my right foot! HELP...as I'm a very active 54yr old who does a lot of walking!👡👠
hello doctor I play softball and I was running to the base and I roles my ankle and it is hurting when I put my weight on it and I have a brace on it but I am not sure if it is helping or making is worse and when I don't have it on I am in so much pain but I am not sure if I need to go see someone or just see what happens I would love to see what you will say about it ~Kaitlyn

Last year, x6, 400lbs steel plates fell on my right foot; breaking 6 bones and damaging the mortise of my ankle. My foot looked like a roasted pork shoulder for 4 months and was in a wheel chair for half a year. Simple things in life like taking a shower was an adventure. I walk now but with a limp. I cant pivot my foot, I cant go up ladders, I cant even apply the brakes on a car anymore, even if i step on a pebble with my boots on, it hurts like hell. The top of my foot feels like its asleep. My doctors says no surgery is required because there was no displacement. IS there a possibility ill get better one day?
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to discover rehab ankle sprain try Fezervin Ankle Fixer Coach (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend got excellent results with it.
I have a question, today I was playing soccer and hurt my foot, the place where my cuboid bone is swollen, and a little bruised... Also, it hurts to put weight on it and it is the first day, should I see a doctor?
@Dr. David Geier I recently hit the outside of my ankle right where the funny bone of your elbow would be. Is there any thing in that area on the bone and soft tissue to the side that could be damaged? Thank you.
Hello doctor unfortunately I just slipped and fell on my foot. I heard and felt it pop and the pain is getting much and much worse that I can’t put any type of pressure on that foot. Also I can’t move my foot upwards but a little downwards. I can move my toes tho. Please let me know what you think. Thank you.
These warning signs fits me with my ankle injury. I am scared.

I've sprained my ankle before and it hurt so bad that I would cry when I walked and my mom never took me to the doctor but I should've gone but she said I was being over dramatic and she said that I wasn't limping all the time but you can walk on a most sprained ankles but it hurt to do that
Bad Parenting
Good Parenting goes to the hospital
I got kicked in the ankle really hard today at soccer. I tried to play it off because I'm not one to cry. I started walking instead of running, and because I'm a mid feild I should be running a lot. One of my team mates got mad at me for not running, so I started running again.
I tried to act like it didn't hurt and over time I felt better. When I got home and took off my boots it hurt even more. I've been walking weird and my whole foot hurts.
I really don't know what to do. Please help me
Best to be seen
same thing happend to me
Even I got that, but I slowly recover that.
Lakesha Hershfeldt same i got hurt while running and can’t walk rn
I put my leg accidently in between the winger leg
Thank you doc! X rays were negative just the pain
,swelling and coloring suggested not to walk on it for a few days however with your testimony i will begin therapy without waiting for an mri
Hi doctor, my ankle feels like someone is stabbing me when I put pressure on it and when I try to walk I am limping. I am still in elementary school and have to do cross country and my teacher says to just walk but my mom says to get it checked out. What should I do???😥😥
I agree that seeing a doctor might be a good idea.

Hi, I wrote this on the 20th March 2017 (day the injury happened) I am 11 years old and today I was playing football and I was running to my friend and as I got half way there my ankle twisted and bent sideways ->. And it was hurting for half the match. Later I went to get the ball as I was out of control because the pain was still there a bit, whereas I did it again but I was running even faster! And it really hurt so I told the manager about it and he gave me cold spray. I sat out and when I got home my mum gave me a frozen pea bag and my dad looked at it (as my dad has broken his ankles several times). He predicts I fractured something or tore a tissue. It is now 9:15 (English time) and it hasn't gotten any better. What would you say? 😕
Hi I am reading this a little late but I recently had a similar injury and I just want to know what happened and what did you do I am 14
It is January 9th 2021
My grandson woke up with a swollen foot with his foot turned in looks like it's cramped up... The pain is on the inside of the ankle... He can't put weight onto it.... I thought he was at it because schools back in 6days... I'm away to call a doc.. Thank you for sharing your videos with the world 🌎
All 3 of those are me. I woke up one morning and my foot randomly started to hurt and I didn't know why. In fact I still don't. I thought the pain would go away but the next day or two it started to feel worse. The day after that I told my mom and she said I might of sprained my foot, but my friend said I might of fractured it bc she had the same pain but it wasn't as bad. The next day before I ate dinner my mom gave me two creams to put on my foot. One was this numbing stuff and the other was a mussel pain reliever. I put it on and when I woke up the next morning (which is now) the pain got worse in a way. I was slowly moving my blanket off of me but the slightest move of my foot causes so much pain if I don't move it for a while. This is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me and I'm not used to any of this😣😣
Littke TK same case with me
Can you please let me know how did it get healed. Same pain I’m suffering for 3 months and more now. Doctors ask me to take pain killer, and rest but how long is that possible
I twisted my ankle yesterday and I heard a pop, so I bandaged and iced it, but I twisted it again this morning getting out of bed. Do you guys think it’s broken or just sprained? I can barely walk on it or move it.
From now on, I am taking my kids to the doctor for all things related to bone/muscle. I don't care if I'm 100% sure of what's going on and we can treat it at home. My 10 year old displayed none of these signs when he rolled his ankle while stepping off of a step stool, we treated it as a sprain and he continued on playing his football season. I kept asking how his ankle was feeling and he said fine. He was walking on it normally, he had no swelling or bruising.... Fast forward a few months and he tells me his ankle is hurting, so I immediately make him a doctor's appointment. The nurse called today and said that he has had a prior fracture!!!!! I feel AWFUL!! I have taken this child to the doctor for a thousand things that were absolutely nothing...and the one time that i don't, it was broken?! Never again.
I sprained my ankle and now everytime I set in a different position, it starts spazzing out.
I have a stress fracture in my foot and it was caused by my school because everyday we had to run a mile and I went to the dr and they told me thank you for your help
Hey Doc! In the past few months I've noticed that one of my ankles feels 'loose' and I hear a cracking sound whenever I try to rotate it. Now I've also noticed that I tend to favour one side when walking almost as if it can no longer support my weight. I'm not sure when this happened or how to approach fixing it. I'd love some advice if you can help. Thanks!
Yesterday I got a bad ankle injury in lacrosse because I slipped and someone else's leg pushed my foot completely backwards. It slightly black and blue, I can't put much weight on it, and in school today I was limping and Ive been icing it but nothing seems to be helping. Should I go see a doctor
i have a bad foot and it hurts when i walk on it and i jump when i walk and it still hurts should i get it cheaked out
My ankle swelling got worse since my pain started last week after a few hours of singles PICKELBALL play. I saw a Podiatrist yesterday! Ice was making ankle swell worse so I'm now doing heat therapy. If swelling doesn't go down in two weeks, I will go for an MRI. YOUR TIPS WERE PRICELESS!!! Great video!!!
My son is 11. Had a knee injury 2 days ago then today it popped and he cant put pressure on it. He came home limping on it. I'm taking him to the hospital tomorrow
How is he. Is he alright?
@@theeverythingkid James is ok now. I pulled him out of school and now he is struggling with stress fractures
I had a fall while hiking and thought I sprained my ankle. It was swollen and sore but it got a bit better over time but after a few weeks it seemed to stop making much improvement. I went to an orthopedic clinic and they took an x-ray. They said the alignment on the fibula wasn’t good. They would have tried to set it but the healing was too far progressed. They gave me a brace and sent me to physical therapy. It continued to heal slowly. It took about two years to get back 100%.
lol I need to get my foot checked out
This is really funny to me 😂😂
Tahlia Basalaj my mom said I'm over exaggerating 😡
Tahlia Basalaj same
Same
Rg Gaming my parents say the same exact thing, but my dad always says that it's all in my head and all I want to do is cry.
I have a bit of a long-term question- I sprained my right ankle (grade II sprain) about 7 years ago, and I was on crutches for about 6-7 weeks and then went through 2-3 months of additional physical therapy to restrengthen it to get back in shape for a national tournament.
However, for about the past 10-12 months I've been getting a searing and burning (sometimes tingling pain) in the same ankle and it runs up to the bottom of my knee, and it hurts for maybe 3-4 days a week and then becomes dull, and then comes back a few days later. The part that has me worried is that I've noticed that sometimes when I'm walking, instead of my toes on that foot pointing forward my foot will angle maybe 30 degrees or so to the outside and it'll drag on the ground and make me almost trip over it- like I'm not picking it up high enough or something.... i brushed it off as being clumsy and not looking where I was going at first but it kept happening- noticeably 2-3 times a day or so.
What should I do to address the pain and the foot dragging? I'm only 25 so I hate feeling like this sometimes
I hit my ankle and it swell but can still put weight you think is a sprain?
The day after I hurt my foot, I showed my friend it, and he said that it looked like I had hit a vein. After looking at it, I can see that as a possibility. I still would like to know symptoms of hitting a vein on the top of your foot, because I can't really tell, nor can my parents. It has been getting better over time, I have been stretching it, and doing things normally on it. And I feel it is getting better. The first day it was swollen and puffy. Now it is just sore when I put pressure with my fingers on it. What do you thing? I have no idea.
Sir I injured my left ankle 8months ago. I started physio therapy n all medication but I doesn't work . Wt to do sir. It still hurts when I starts playing ... And it still unstable
I tore my ankle ligament, one of the ones on the outside, and have been wondering if ligaments grow back...I know tendons do but what about ligaments?????especially ankle ligaments.
Hi doctor, I am in gymnastics and my ankle REALLY has been hurting. I don't know if I should go to the doctors or what. I don't limp THAT much, but it hurts when I run sometimes, and when I do gymnastics. It has been hurting sense November of last year. Please reply, and tell me what I should do. Thank you!!🤗😭😭😭😭

I need help with my scooter hitting my ankle injury
Hi Doctor, I went to the doctor with ankle pain for a year. They said that they think it is tendinitis. I had to wear a boot for 3 weeks and my ankle was supposed to get better. My ankle just starts hurting more and more each day. I go to middle school and I do gymnastics. My ankle slows me down, and it just hurts TOOO much to jump on the like bounciest trampoline ever. It's a little swollen and I can barely put any wait in it. I limp all the time. I can't stand up straight, and I always elevate it when I'm sitting. I wince in pain every single day. My mom doesn't know if this is a serious injury or not, because last time I went to a orthopedist they said that it wasn't that bad.
I am hurt rn and I think I need to go the the doctor but idk if it’s worth going or not?

4:23...yes I was at the skatepark two hours ago. I messed up a drop in . I can barely walk. My right ankle hurts so bad. I put ice and I'm waiting until tmrw. If it's not getting any better I'll skip school and go see a doctor or smth I guess. I'm really scared that it might be fractured :/
Hey guys sometimes when I walk my foot suddenly twist and I fall what's going on its been going on for years
David Lineman very common thing, called a minor ankle inversion I think
You might have Osteoarthritis, which is similar to arthritis. It usually begins in middle age and slowly progresses Over time the cartillage between the bones become worn down, resulting in pain and joint problems. I how this helped :)
me too
wear thin soled sneakers
David Lineman Same here
Sir can i walk if my toe is buddy taped with the adjacent toe.?
Actually I m diagnosed with a hairline fracture in my 5th toe.
Please I really need your suggestion whether I can walk or not
Great video! Quick question. I have twisted, sprained my right ankle several times over the years. Each time I went to the doctor, they would simply wrap it up for two weeks, no standing or walking. About 2 years ago, I was at work, having been wearing steel toe boots for several years prior, I attempted to move a pallet that was wedged against the interior of the trailer. It would not budge, so I pulled with all my might. I believe that I applied so much pressure onto my ankle and foot by doing this. The next day I went back to work and completed the day, but by the end of the day, my foot and ankle had swollen so bad I was limping. I had to stop going to work for about two weeks, I lost the job and all. I would walk around on it, just limping, hoping that I could get it to come back to life quicker. So, I recently started a new job, I had been going to the gym since Jan., getting my body stronger, haven't had any issues, other than some flexing restriction like squatting down. I only lasted 4 days at this new job, before my foot and ankle became so painful and swollen once again. I would like your input please. I am trying to decide if I need to go to a specialist or is there something I can do at home without racking up another doctors bill. My research has led me to believe that maybe I have fractures throughout my foot and ankle. How long should it take for these to heal with proper treatment? Thank you.
Last night I was trying my round off backflip and it didn’t really hurt at all but then this morning it hurts to where I can’t put my whole body weight onto it and it hurts a little when I roll it around. should I get checked out 🤷♀️
I hurt my footin the balls of my foot it's quite swollen and is painful for the last 3 days
I suggest getting it checked out I had the same problem so I just wrapped it iced it and elevated it and it didn’t help so I got it checked out and I ended up fracturing it
All I gotta say is ya a big ass loser
Hi Dr, when i do plantar flexion; it hurts the most; what part of tendon i probably injury?
Hello, I've stood on my ankle awkwardly but after a day I could walk normally, but as days pass on I saw my ankle bruised but I'm not feeling pain at all so should I go to the Doctors..?
Abdalla Faysal no
You probably just had a little stretch in one of you ligaments in your ankle. The bruising happens naturally and thats when you know its sprained. The bruising goes away in a week or so depending on your injury. Just try to do some ankle strengthening exercises and stretch before workouts.
I ruptured a tendon and didn't even know it. I had swelling and pain. First visit had X-ray showed a little swelling, pain and swelling went on and finally got an MRI and then it was found.
what happens if I hear like a crack in my ankle. Like if I cracking my knuckles
Missed a step, heard a pop went to the er xrays done was told it's a bad sprain 3 days ago. Swelling hasn't gone away, cannot put any weight on it at all without pain shooting up my leg. What would be my next recourse?
hi doctor , I am a good runner in our school but my ankle is worse than it looks and it shape like puff in my right leg give me solution for this😔😔😔😭😭I am from🇮🇳
Extreme driver i got the same puff today at football injuries
I got my my ankle injury almost 2 years ago and until now I can experience so much pain when I am sprinting or jumping but I can walk normally. Can it be possibly back it to normal even a long time ago???

Hello Dr. I had an accident with my bike. I basically was in the street, but along the curb and I was distracted for a split second and next thing I know, I felt a pull in my ankle but neither felt nor heard a crack or pinch. It hurt almost instantly but it didn't swell not bruise or discoloration right away. I didn't go to the doctor (because I don't have insurance) but I had a nurse of 30 yrs in the family check it out. Her initial analysis (which was 12 hrs after the accident) was that I definitely sprained and popped some vessels, but it didn't appear broken.
No it has been 24 hrs. I have been RICEing and talking ibuprofen as well as drinking bone broth and taking vitamin C and Cal-Mag-Zinc supplements. I am a physical therapist major and was sent to this link as well as another that was more detailed on how to check for break vs sprain. And the actual bones do not hurt. But the ligaments themselves definitely hurt. After the first 24, I have more obvious swelling and some darker discoloration. But I can't determine if it's a high second degree sprain or a low 3rd degree.
Do you have anymore specific or detailed advice before I go to the med clinic? I just really don't want to end up in debt unless I have to. I know that sounds silly, but please humor me. Any more suggestions or advice on what to look for?
I was playing baseball hit a home run running back to home base trip fall here huge pop
Same but I was running to 2nd and my foot hit the base and rolled my ankle to the point were it felt and looked broken
I injuried my foot and ankle while trying to change a tire and landed on my foot wrong and it rolled the wrong way. I heard a snap and felt tremindious pain and my ankle got hot. I emidiately iced it and elevated it but the swelling was really bad! There was tremendous amount of bruising and I was not able to bare weight on it until 5th day and still the swelling continued and bruising spread from my last four toes all the way above my ankle and the pain still continues! I use advil , ice and an ace wrap!
I was playing basketball with my friends, and this guy takes a jump shot and lands on my foot. The pain is excruciating! I am limping, too. It sucks...😅
I started doing yoga when I was in high school. I didn't go to a class or anything, but I found a book called 28 days to yoga and simply followed what I learned in there until I got hooked.
While trying to make my legs cross like so many pictures I'd seen in the book, I one day pushed too hard and I pulled something in my ankle. Since then, It's never been the same. A few years later, I ran my first mile and to celebrate, I decided to run another mile the next day even though I felt a lot of pain in the same ankle. I know this was a big mistake because I limped and couldn't run for about a month afterwards. Since then, any running aggravates my ankle and sometimes even cycling will do it too. Now, over ten years later, I still have ankle pain - sometimes I don't even have to be running and it hurts. I'm worried that the doctor will just tell me to take it easy and won't do much. What do you suggest?
I was playing a game a church and I tried to hit the ball, then my foot twisted and I fell down. My mom said if it gets worse she will take me to the doctor because I limp around the house and sometimes have to take a brake. This happened 11/18/2016.
Now it's swelling and my mom is taking me tomorrow. 11/18/2016
Me and Friends what was the outcome?
Me and Friends so what happen?
STOOPID
Omg same lol
I could really use your opinion. No foot doctor takes my insurance and I don't have the funds to be looked at. I injured my foot on the treadmill due to being careless and going barefoot. I'm now experiencing pain on the bottom arch of my left foot going toward the joint of my big toe. It happened four days ago and feels fine when I'm off it. When I walk and put pressure on my big toe, I feel the pain in my joint and arch. I try walking on my heal or left side more to not stress it. I don't know what to do. I know a person that has similar symptoms and has been dealing with the crippling pain for over two years.
I slammed my foot on a wall😂 and now it really hurts. I can't flex it or anything, and it hurts to put any weight on it, but it feels a little better if I sit. Should I see a doc?
Wishful Whisks if it really hurts then yes, but you mostly just bruised it
Wishful Whisks mine is the sane way but i sprained mine like 4 and idk if t is broke and it feels like it is broke
Wishful Whisks SAME OMG SAMEE
Wishful Whisks OMG when I was 7 I was doing cartwheels on my grandmas bed (bad idea ik) and I hit my ankle really hard on my grandmas wooden headboard of the bed 😂

So everyone hurt their ankle here. I tried getting a rebound and landed on some ones foot
Same man, same
Some kid had his foot under me while i was shooting mid air -_-
Is there any explanation for Tibular pain other than a fracture? thanx
I think I sprained my ankle on my scooter but my mom thinks I might have fractured it because the pain is slowly getting worse and I can’t stand on it at all, but if I just put an ice pack on it and watch a TH-cam video it kind of goes away. What do I do?😢☹️
My mom wouldn't care I could have a small break or a mild sprain and she won't take me she thinks I'm always over dramatic even if I cry when I walk she just doesn't care but if she takes me she gets really mad at me
I mule kicked a tire to get it loose off of a car but ended up kicking the axle instead. My heel hurt excruciatingly but I could still walk if I gritted my teeth. 2 years later I have fibular ankle pain that goes up to my knee and I have signs of a torn meniscus and lack of mobility. Is what I'm feeling now a kind of ankle injury? Or is that seemingly unrelated?
My ankle randomly started hurting during a softball game then kept getting worse and I have had 3 x rays I wore a brace for an entire year and 3 years later still in pain 😂
yea a year plus and counting for me. it never goes away

Could u sprain a foot by hitting your ankle with a scooter deck quite hard
Riley_Jim Bowers no all it might do is bruise it
"Hi Dr Geier,
"Yes, I believe I have a ankle, injury, but do not know how sever. 'm 58 yrs of age , workout, stay fit and I play soccer solo with skills and drills for a year now. I felt some difference when I started wearing cleats, and one day twisted my left ankle with an unbalanced forceful kick. Had trouble walking on it for 2 weeks, and I started to rehab it on my own gradually. It has been 5 months now and I can still play, but a slight pain comes back after playing where I still walk sideways on that foot. What do you think I'm doing wrong? Thank You again Dr Geier ~
Haha me active?? Noooooo

Hi I hurt my ankle a week or two ago running on some hiking trails and it was swollen a bit and slightly bruised. It’s been almost two weeks and it still hurts Im walking normal but when I do I feel my ankle pop. Feels like something is popping out of place or like a elastic sorta. I’m 14 btw don’t Know if that matters but could you please give me a opinion? I would really appreciate it I’ve had trouble participating in taekwondo.

Posterior ankle pain following a grade III sprain 6 months ago- sharp pain in the joint, especially bad when in dorsiflexion, climbing up/ down stairs. CBA going to the doctor if they are just going to say to rest, ice, NSAIDS it... any simialr experienceS? does it need looking at again? pain is quite severe means im limping sometimes
Lmao I got bored and decided to cut the grass and somehow slipped on the curb and sprained my foot. FML. What are some of the reasons why anyone else is here ?
Moneysn1pe i falled off my bike in my face today and there is a bruise on foot. It hurts from a scale from 1 to 10 i will say its 3/10 ;';
Yesterday was my brothers birthday and we went to velocity. I was jumping and landed on my foot then I fell a second time on my face lmao
i stepped down the stairs wrong and fell down the remaining 5 steps, landing with my ankle under my body facing inward. I have two or three auditions for dance and modeling in the next week and I don't know what to do. My ankle feels like its being stabbed every time i apply pressure. Im freaking out.
I was running back to a trailhead down a mountain. Traction gave way, inverted left ankle and felt and here something pop. Worried I ruptured a ligament. Swelling and pain, pain walking for 10 days. Used a ankle brace for 9 weeks. Pain was down enough to start doing ankle exercises about 9 weeks after injury-resistance bands and writing ABC's. Seem to be at a stand still with recovery. Almost at e months now. Cant invert ankle without feeling resistance and pain, which is better than a month ago when I could not even do foot inverstions with muscle strength alone. Can't push off with my left foot as when I go to start running or jump without 'feeling' my ankle, then pain four to five strides in. Should I stick with course I'm on-RICE and mobility exercises or is there something more I can do?
ah... i was playig football and someone missed the ball and kicked and also hooked my ankle... i was rooling on the ground for about 20 mins... and after i rested it and because i love the sport i couldnt resist i took my jersey and tied the ankle in a hook like manner and played.... later on i limped ... and the nex morning after i had the ankle massaged ... i cant walk on it and... rotation is limited...also swelling increased but...pain has reduced... and atm i cant stand or walk
I’ve been having a lot of pain on my ankle and i have been to the doctor 3 times and they have all said it’s a sprain and i have had it for like 8 months and my foot is tilted sideways when i walk and i can’t walk normally it’s not that i don’t want to but i can’t it especially hurts on the Talus.
I was pitching in softball and I drifted back to avoid a line drive up the middle and the guy popped it up in front of home plate. So I quickly planted my right foot behind me to sprint in for the catch and my foot popped. It felt like the ball of my foot and big toe were the part that popped. I was able to continue playing cautiously, but pain began to spread after. I've got an ice pack on it now and the pain is throughout my foot. Hoping for it to just be sore for the next few days. Thoughts?
Am a basketball player and had a stress fracture of the metatarsal.The swelling is not painfull but does not subside. I have seen doctors who have not offered any solution.Its really frustrating.What do you recommend i should do,,
I dislocated my left foot five months ago with no breaks. The foot was put back in place the same day by the orthopaedic on call at the hospital. I followed up with the ortho in his office twice. He did not perform an MRI, but prescribed PT. I am still limping and I have some shooting pain in the outside of my heel. I worry that the tears may have been more significant than he thought. Do you think it's worth having an MRI done?
Do I need surgery for da fracture of da tip of medial malleolus
Hi doctor, I rolled my ankle a week or two weeks ago and it is still hurting. I limp sometimes but it comes and goes. I'm not sure if I should go and see a doctor or go to A&E.
I have about the same thing that happens to me playing volleyball and I'm wondering what I can do to get relief so that it dose not hurt
I was walking and got wet leaves on my foot slipped hit the boney part on the corner of the wall them onto the strep then the floor, I heard a loud bang and a slight crack as I fell into the bins. Should I see a doctor as I can barely walk, and there is quite a lot of swelling and bruising. I currently my foot up and have ice on it to try and reduce the swelling. I'm currently in excruciating pain
Twisted Cookie does it hurt when you move you’re foot side to side cause that is what’s happening to me I can’t walk and it’s super swollen, also it hurts when I press it on the bone, lmk what you did please
I ended up spraining 1 tendon and 1 ligament in 2 places I was bedridden for 2 days then had to walk with crutches for 48hours, after I was allowed to put weight on it. I gradually put more and more weight on until I could walk with a limp, I still limp a little bit but it is mostly healed now. I also wrapped it in a bandage to support it.
Twisted Cookie ok thanks

I sprained my ankle in soccer and then I worked three shifts at work and played in my next game all over the course of the next 3 days. My foot is now hurting all the time. It’s not a horrible pain, I’ve had worse, but not only does it hurt to walk, it also just feels off. I have an appointment tomorrow to get my foot X-rayed and I’m hoping it’s not a fracture! I haven’t had a ton of swelling or discoloration but I didn’t when I broke my wrist either. Here’s hoping🤞🏼
I broke the 5th Metatarsal a week ago Saturday. Went to the Podiatrist, took x-rays, and said yep it's broke. Gave option of boot or cast. I chose the boot. Anyway, about three days ago I started having really bad burning pain in my foot and pressure like stabbing pain when my foot is not elevated. I wonder is this a normal thing?
Hi doctor, I hurt my ankle when i was playing soccer I jumped to hit the ball with my head, but my landing was terrible I landed sideways on my foot and heard a pretty loud cracking sound. I immediately went to the hospital and got an x-ray thankfully it isn't broken, however it's very painful and it swelled up but there's no bruising. Can you please help me understand what to expect over the coming weeks?
About 3 years I was diagnosed with Charcot and Rheumatoid. Just had a relapse. Pain increases with walking. It’s better with the Afo, but still can’t walk too far. It is healing, but taking a long time.
Hello, I was working Monday when a trailer hitch fell off a shelf, bounced and hit me on top of the ankle. Swelling and pain but little bruising. As a prior EMT-I, I have done all of protocol for the injury but am still in A LOT of pain and is swelling more so at night. What advice can you give being I am now on 48+ hours dealing with this with no improvement or results. Thank you in advance.
I sprained my ankle VERY badly over 2 years ago. I went to a lot of physio, it healed eventually, but I couldn't put weight on it for close to 2 months. It gets stiff every so often, but other than that I haven't had problems, and even started training for a half marathon (ran up to 16km with zero problems). I took a few months off of running (race got cancelled) but started back up 2 days ago. I did a slow 5k and my ankle felt fine throughout, as it always does, and fine during the rest of the day as well. However, yesterday I started experiencing some pain, then began limping because of it. I thought I would rest it and ice it as much as possible and see what happens. Today the pain is the same or worse. The pain is located in my ankle in the same place I felt pain when I sprained it, as well as a new sharp pain in the bottom of my foot when I walk. I have put my old brace on and have scheduled physio for tonight. I have been looking for answers online, and I keep seeing articles about stress fractures. I am worried that I ran too far too fast with an ankle that hadn't seen exercise in 1-2 months. Is a stress fracture a possibility? Or is it more likely that my old injury is just acting up?
I fell and rolled my ankle to the point were it felt and looked broken but wasn't is it normal for my knee to start hurting really bad?
Hi doctor, I do Maui Thai and while training yesterday, I was kicking the pads hard and I did some Sparring and I woke up today feeling a sharp pain in my upper foot and I’m limping, what should I do ?
I took a foul ball off the ankle no pain anymore except in running I’m not sure if it’s lack of mobility. What do you think that would be, a bone bruise
I have had a really bad ankle twist, I got an x-ray done and saw an orthopedic doctor and he said that it’s nothing serious it’s about 20 days now I’m still limping, still on medicine and applying applicant recommended by the doctor, my ankle still has a swelling and I can’t walk straight. I hope you can help on this.
Hi Doc
This pain started on Sunday but I didn't think anything of it, other than it would go away. But like you suggested, I'm now limping and feeling shooting pains up my leg due to this.
I work in a school and can't really have anytime off seeing as we've just come back from our 6wks sch holiday. It throbs sometimes when I elevate it!
The pain comes from under and to the side of the big toe on my right foot!
HELP...as I'm a very active 54yr old who does a lot of walking!👡👠
