Suggest Treatment For Ankle Pain After Injury
Yes I hit my medial malleolus hard on a trailer hitch ball over a month ago. It is still swollen, I can t run and change direction while running, it s sore all the time, and when inactive for about 30 minutes, takes time to be able to walk without pain... could I have fractured it? If so what can I do to help it heal?

dear friend
if it was a fracture or a hairline crack it would have healed by now or must be on its way there. ankle is a very unstable joint and it needs a long time to heal if sprained , my suggestion would be to get an x ray done to rule out any bony injury and its residue and use an ankle support for some time to give it rest and time to heal.
