After injuring my r ankle playing rugby 6 weeks ago?

Question

i still have severe swelling and minimal movement ie even with force i can not bring my foot towards my body . it is like there is something stopping it. pain is very minimal to. Still waiting to have NHS physio!! As with this walking is still very difficult, Has anyone any idea as to what or why this is like this. I have had xrays and no fracture was found, "its just a sprain" i was told.

Answer 1

dude sounds like you've got fluid in their that needs to come out! Sometimes that can happen, if you've iced it and it hasn't gone down you may have to get the fluid drained out which can be a little painful. Hope it gets better bo!

Answer 2

Just keep it elevated. You've probably been doing too much on it.
