Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have ankle pain, and not able to walk or sleep with this pain. The pain is all time over the scale is 7 out of 10, and shooting pain is 10. Kindly help
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The pain must be moderate, as you have not mentioned detailed history, which is very important in your case. If there is any swelling and a history of injury, you might have sprained and cracked your bone in the worst scenario cracked your bone. If it is a simple pain after a fall, then do not worry. I suggest taking pain-reducing NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and rest your ankle for at least a week with a crape bandage. Find out which one you have. The treatment will be effective if diagnosed early. I hope I have cleared your doubts.
Thank you.
