ankle swelling

Please share x ray ankle ap/lateral

If your ankle got twisted while playing and there is swelling, it is usually due to a **ligament strain or sprain**. Since the swelling reduces with icing, it is generally a good sign. For now, continue **rest, ice application, compression, and keeping the foot elevated**. If you are able to walk and put weight on the foot without severe pain, an X-ray may not be immediately necessary. However, if you have **severe pain, difficulty in walking, tenderness over the bone, or the swelling persists**, then it is better to get an **ankle X-ray** done before your visit. You can come for consultation and we will examine the ankle properly and guide the further treatment.

Ideally xray should be done . It can be ligament tear or just sprain please to consult online or offline with me so that I can give you best possible care

The fact that your ankle twisted while playing points to a traumatic injury, most commonly an ankle sprain (stretched or torn ligaments). However, an ankle fracture (broken bone) can present with identical swelling and pain. You will likely need an X-ray if you meet any of the following criteria:Inability to bear weight: You cannot take four steps immediately after the injury and right now at your appointment.Bone tenderness: You feel sharp pain when pressing directly on the bony bumps of your ankle (the medial or lateral malleoli).Foot bone pain: You feel sharp pain on the outer edge of your foot or the midfoot bones. Please consult a Podiatric surgeon or a Gen Surgeon at the earliest.
