Suggest Treatment For Intense Pain On The Ankle With Dizziness After Falling Down

I fell down the steps and twisted my ankle. The swelling was instant and the pain almost made me pass out went to ER and the said it was soft tissue damage. It s been 24hrs and the pain is just as intense. I still get dizzy and nauseous if I m up to long. I have to use crutches because I can t put any weight on it. Could it be broken.

hi,

thanks for a brief history of your illness. it will be a soft tissue Injury as the ER mentioned. Still on a safer side an x-ray or an MRI will be of guidance. you should follow the guidelines properly. be slow and steady always as it helps alot for the body to recover and become better too. Do slow ankle movements if it is not in the cast and do straight leg raise as well. on the other side of the body which is not injured. also keep your leg over the pillow which will help to reduce swelling. follow the guidelines given to you by ER and do regular breathing and simple and exercises.

by God's grace everything will be fine.
