Pain And Swelling In The Ankle. Feeling Burning. Anything To Be Worried?
Hi- My son hurt is ankle in soccer,,it is still a bit swollen and he was still complaining so we took him to the doctor yesterday. The doctor said he has a contusion and wrapped it. He told us to come back in a couple days if it wasn't feeling better.. My son is saying his ankle feels like it's burning.. He has complained of this feeling several times now.. I've never heard of burning in the ankle.. Should I be worried and call the doctor back..??

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
The swelling and the wrapping done by the doctor may be the cause of your son complaining of the burning sensation. In case this feeling increases and there is discomfort then it would be advisable that the wrapping is reviewed. It may have to be opened and reapplied.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your son an early recovery.

Hello
Thanks for contacting. The force of hurt will be mild one and there is no chance to get fracture. As your doctor told it was contussion injury which leads to clotting of blood inside the wound.This haematoma may press adjacent nerve fibres and nerve endings which leads to burning sensation and pain. hence the contussion subsides these problems reduced.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Since his pain is not improving I feel that you should consult your doctor once again.
Mean while you should continue the analgesics as prescribed by your doctor.
Was a x-ray of the joint taken or not?
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
