Treatment For Ankle Injury?

Dear Ask The Doctor: Hi there, i got hit in the ankle with a puck on sunday, and it is still quite painful, and there is a pain going up my leg, what should i do?
Dear Keegan: If you were unable to bear weight after the impact or cannot walk 4 steps or there is pain and tenderness in the joint, then you may have to see a doctor to get an ankle x-ray done. Otherwise rest, ice, keeping the foot elevated, compression bandage along with anti-inflammatory drugs like advil will help. |
