ankle pain

[laih]

My ankle had sprains since last year till now. I went to see ortopedic surgeon earlier when the pain didn't go away and he gave me a jab to stop the pain. The pain stopped for few months but then it came back again after another sprain.Then I keep on getting more and more minor sprains until last month I got a major sprain. I gave up to see the western doctor so I went to see chinese doctor. He gave chinese medicine but then the pain refuses to go away. There is still a lil swelling on the leg but then not obvious swelling. I can't do long term and heavy work such as standing up and walking for few hours like go and shopping. What exactly happened and please give me some advice regarding about this. Urgent. Thanks

I don't understand by "the cause of the sprain is not yet clear" and "to rule out any pathology by getting MRI and CT scan". Can you explain more about this? Thanks

Hello laih,

The cause of the sprain is not yet clear. Get a MRI and CT scan to rule out any pathology. Do not bear weight on the foot. Change the footwear as desired as per the comfort.
Take some anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen and take rest.
