Ankle Twist Injury

Yesterday, early in the morning, I was getting ready for college. I was leaving home; my feet skid across the muddy porch of my house(it's been raining for the past 3 days). I didn't feel anything instantly so I went to college. After doing the first class, I felt excruciating pain in my left leg. It was so terrible and I felt so helpless at that point. Fortunately, 2 of my friends took the initiative to go to the HOD's room and ask for a painkiller. I felt somewhat better after having the painkiller. Anyways, taking rest for a few days now. What's up at your end? How's your health?

Yes I have consulted the doctor. He prescribed Ankle Binder and 2 more medicines to be taken after meal. After seeing the reports from x ray, he concluded that it was nothing serious( I mean he had suspected bone injury). Advised to take rest

You should wear a firm bandage round the ankle for some days. Take it off during the night. If the pain doesn't become less, you should have your ankle x-rayed.

@Dreamerby You're lucky. That's bad enough, but it could have been worse!

When you had a fall you could have stayed at home. The painkiller is a temporary remedy. You can go for a x-ray and take proper treatment. I as a senior citizen have ailments that I have to keep under control.

Once you skidded, you should immediateley use ointment to rub your ankle even though it is not in pain. Walking will worsen the pain later. Hope you recover soon
