Suggest Treatment For Pain In Ankle Radiating To Legs Post Injury

hi and welcome to hcm
Detailed Answer:
It is hard to differentiate it without xrays. Only external signs of fracture are deformity,crepitations and loss of function. This is seen in significant displacement of fractured bones. Minor fractures would manifest with swelling and pain which is seen in sprains too. Fracture would cause increasing pain if foot isnt resting but this is not always seen. So you have few options. First,to do xrays,which is really minor amount of irradiation which has negligible effect on internal organs. You can wait and see will pain progress,minor fractures and sprains will heal without immobilisation in short time. Serious fractures that requires surgery would cause inability to walk at all and significant pain so this is not likely to be in your case.wish you good health. Regards
