Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hello yesterday at school i was playing soccer and while i was running i twisted my ankle so i put ice on it once i got home i ut more ice and i wriped it with that cloth and this morning it feels the same can you please tell me if it sprain or fractured?
To differentiate if the ankle is sprained or fractured you should do an X-ray of the ankle. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application to relieve the inflammation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
