My ankle hurts all the time?

Question:

I am 30 yrs old and about 10 yrs ago my ex-husband grabbed my foot and twisted it completely around in anger. I dont think it broke but it did swell up and turn several colors. Now it hurts all the time. Is there anything I can do to stop it and could there be something that I might need to see a doctor to fix the problem?

Answers:
An orthopedic doctor would be best to examine your ankle and see what, if any damage the ankle has. I think you would also benefit from going to physical therapy to strengthen the muscles in your ankle to give your ankle some support.

Go see a podiatrist.

However, the damage has been there so long, that it may require some sort of surgery to be repaired (if it can at all).

well when he did it he could have torn a ligament or muscle and if thats the case then you might have to have surgery. but i would see your doctor for sure

even if there isnt a big issue with your ankle i would still see a doctor.
maybe 10 years ago when that happened your ankle broke but just barely, and over the years it still hasnt healed by itself. that could be a cause of your pain.
