Question:
I hurt it 2 weeks ago. It was was very swollen all over. It's the 5th time in my life I have seriously injured it. I iced and elevated, stayed off for a couple days. Saw the doctor, they didn't help. It didn't hurt to walk and major swelling went down. It still hurts bad to stretch and it's still swollen and tight just where it's hurt. I want to skate again BADLY. Plaese help. Some people say ice, or strech, or no ice, or rub it out, or heat, or balh, blah, blah.
Answers:
hi did you twist it ? if you did you most likely hyper extended the Lateral Colateral Tendon that runs on the exterior side of the ankle ,this can get a tear in it and does not show up in an exray .you would need an MRI ,also the Talus tends to get stress fractures from the Hyper Extension depending on if you fell or placed an undue downward load on it .these take a few weeks to heal and if it is the latter and you have a fracture they will cast you . good luck
