How Can Persistent Right Ankle Pain Due To A Sprain Be Treated?
Yes. I m 63 yrs old. I missed the bottom step going out onto my patio about 8 weeks ago. At first I thought I had a sprain on my right ankle. I iced it for a day or so and it got a little better but he pain seems to have moved from the outside of my ankle to the front part. And I m still having pain when I have been sitting for a while or when I try to twist it. Help!

Hello,
I would like to have more information from you regarding whether the ankle was black and blue in color. Usually, the ankle sprain should have been gone by now. I am afraid that you have some kind of fracture and you missed it. So, I would suggest you to do ankle x-rays and consult an orthopedic surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Valbona Selmani
