From last 4-5 months, I am getting pain in ANKEL after playing cricket or running for some times.I consulted a doctor in APOLLO but, he told me to use HOT Water to warm that area and this problem will be resolved in 2-3 weeks. But It didnt happen.
sometimes, I will get so much of pain that I can't walk also.
I am not able to understand, what I have to do?????

I will suggest you go and have an xray on your ankle. This can ensure that you are not suffering from any fracture. After that, go for a MRI scan. This will reveal if it is your ligament or muscle that is causing it. I believe it is one of the three. It is unlikely to have ankle pain for 4-5 months.

I dont think I have fracture as I am getting pain only after running or playing.
But I can go for MRI scan.
Thanks, I will update you after the scan.

If you are very active and playing running sports all of your life, you may have arthritis in your ankle. This is where your ankle bones have rubbed together and worn away the cartilage between them, so now they rub up against each other and cause pain. This happened to my brother at a young age. I would see another doctor for a second opinion if I were you.
That first doctor does not sound too smart: hot water will not help inflammation, and will actually increase it. He should have suggested COLD on your ankle for up to 15 min after sports, and perhaps a few times a day.

Hi,
Yes, you are correct I am sportsperson from childhood, likes to play cricket.
I think I am also having same problem which your brother has. Please what type of doctor I have to suggest. Previous doctor in Apollo was orthopadic one. But He told me that there is no problem in ankle bone.
Please helpme, I urgently require your help....

He told me to use Hot water and ice and come after 3 weeks if pain remains.
But I was not satisfied with the doctor response. So, I am planning to visit another doctor but I dont know the corretc one. If you know, please suggest me...
