Bruising On The Ankle Post Rolling The Ankle Badly, Pain In The Foot Arch, Difficulty In Walking. How Can I Fix This?
I rolled my ankle really bad 2 weeks ago playing in a basketball game and i couldnt walk on it for 3 to 4 days. Now the swelling has mostly gone down but there is still a little bruising on the outside of my ankle. But now all the pain is in the arch of my foot . It hurts to walk still and I cant even jog. What can i do to fix this? What is wrong with my foot?

Hi.. wakekiman... If there is excessive swelling , bruises after injury, then need to get x ray to rule out fracture... but already 2 weeks ago , hence less chances of fracture.... The above symptoms are suggestive of Ligament injury... it will take 3 to 4 weeks to heal completely...
Take care..
