Question: Hi Doctor,

I had an injury last year, during my football match. Both of my ankels got twisted. I took pain killers. The pain stopped temporarily. However, i get some pain in my right ankle, whenever i sit and work near my desk.

Can you please suggest what should i do for these kind of injuries?

Thanks,

Brief Answer:
May be chronic ankle sprain.

Detailed Answer:
Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
I have read the query and in my opinion ,you have injured your lateral ligament of the ankle joint and it has not healed properly. So it has become chronic ankle sprain.
For confirmation of diagnosis- I suggest you get MRI of the ankle .
If MRI shows chronic ankle sprain( as tear in ant or post talofibular ligament) then there are two options. First would be injection of PRP/ Stem cells to aid in healing and second option is surgical repair.
In the meantime use mild pain killer and ankle brace.
Let me hear again after MRI.
Thanks
