Yeah I wanted to ask regarding HEM too. I've been recommending it to some of my friends and blog visitors for some time, because it worked for me. I'm just interested in what others think about it.

I've sprained my ankle before new years and I'm still feeling pain. I can't rotate it and sometimes I can put pressure on it and walk. I've got my x-ray taken and doctor says I have no fracture. Even till now I can't walk. I've been elevating my leg, wrapping it up to keep it 90 degrees, putting on a Flector patch, taking vitamin D supplements along with multivitamins and fish oil, I've gone through 2 tubes of Voltaren Gel. I'm very frustrated. I been keeping myself from living my daily life. When I walk my ankle stays slanted and stiff big toe pointing in the air. I been waiting and waiting for so long and its been 3 months already.. Is there anything else I can do?? Any suggestions?? I've read that smoking prolongs the healing process. Is that whats happening?

HELP MEEEEE!! please?..

Thank you!!

I encourted a high anle sprain over christmas break around christmas eve , but even know there is still a nice amount of swelling that remains. Is this a result of me trying to come back to early and not giving it a long enough period of time to heal

walking across the yard I hit a broken rake handle into the tendons of my ankle in front of the ankle bone felt like when you hit your funny bone. After the pain got better i continued to work and on ladder in about 3 hours it hurt till I could not put my weight on it and it was swollen, the pain is so severe to walk or to move my toes, it takes my breath . I have elevated and put ice on and off every 15 minutes for 2hours and now have applied sore no more warm therapy and wrapped in ace bandage.. it hurts up the back of my leg, do you think the impact tore or damage my tendon?

I am sure the team will somehow manage without you.

Volleyball season starts in about 2 weeks, and I sprained my ankle 2 days ago. I'm the captain of the team and I don't think the team will do well without me. I iced it a lot and wrapped it but it's still a little swollen. Do you think I'll be back to normal by the time the season starts? I sprained my ankle by jumping and landing on someone's foot. Obviously it hurt at first, but I was able to walk on it. Any advice as soon as possible will be greatly appreciated.

Ask your doctor for a referral for physical therapy. Being off you feet and on crutches for that amount of time is unnecessary. Once you can remove the inflammation the pain will subside and the range of motion will be increased. Generally speaking if there are no results within 2 weeks you go back for more imagining. It is also possible there is a hairline fracture. These types of fractures typically do not show up on x-ray for about 2 weeks after the injury. Start PT and then go from there. Just staying on crutches will allow the ankle to start to heal itself, however the ankle will remain unstable and the likely hood of re-injuring the ankle is higher than you will want.

I rolled my ankle when my knee gave out. Probably worst sprain i ever had. That was 16 days ago. Did the rice thing.
Everytime i went to dr. they sent me for different tests. 3 xrays,1 ct scan, 2 MRI's one without and one with contrast, and one dopplar ultrasound to check for blood clot. Most of the test were because my ankle looked really bad and also i developed a red type rash on left side of foot. Each dr. didn't know what it was. Although 3 different nurses said looks like celluitis. Finally they put me on an antibiotic 2 days ago. I still cannot put any weight on it and when i stand up the pain gets intolerable. Any comments would be appreciated.

Hey,
I sprained my ankle 15 days ago in a basketball game. I have been icing and elevating and trying to move it around as much as possible. However, I have very limited motion and i cannot put any weight on it yet. I have been using crutches and hopping around on my other foot for 15 days now trying to get around. I had x rays done and the orthopedic doctor I went to said there were no fractures. I am starting to get frustrated with the fact that I cannot walk without crutches still and am starting to think there was more damage to my ankle than what my doctor concluded. He said I would be out 6-8 weeks but should be walking after 1-2. Should I go back to see him? What should I do?
