Hi doctor,
I am unable to bear weight on my healed ankle. I had a fracture of the same ankle four years ago. This problem has been there since six months. Climbing stairs is a problem. I get pain inside my bone, sharp stabbing pain and some burning sensation. This stabbing pain stays for a week or so with no movement and goes away after a week of rest, but returns when I climb stairs (put weight on the ankle). The bone is feeling sore all the time. Please advice. The x-ray and MRI reports are normal.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You have mentioned that you sustained an ankle fracture around four years ago and now you have persistent symptoms in the same ankle joint.
Previous injury.
Investigations to be done:1. X-rays (digital) of the affected ankle - anteroposterior and lateral views.
2. MRI of the affected ankle which you have already done.
3. Recent blood tests especially serum vitamin D and B12 levels, serum uric acid levels, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP).
4. A clinical picture of your affected ankle.
Will decide after relevant investigations.
Regarding follow up:Follow up with investigations to an orthopaedician and traumatologist online.---> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/orthopaedician-and-traumatologist
