Hi,I am Dr. Carol Rogala (Emergency Medicine). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i sprained my ankle 17 days ago. i missed a few steps going down the deck to the back yard. Xray shows avulsion fracture. First on crutches now aircast without crutches per dr oirders. Ankle continues to swell as well as the rest of my foot but not as bad as during initial injury. Mainly the outside of my right ankle, Now im experirncing a pull calf feeling in the same leg as my sprain. What is causing that? should i be in a cast or walking boot, Everyone says i should be and they challenge the way my daughter treatment. It took 10 days for them to schedule the xray since i didnt complain about being in a lot of pain
