Suggest Treatment Options For Ankle Pain
I was punched in the leg below the knee. I am having a hard time walking and the pain has extended down to my ankle as well. Trying to flex my ankle or put pressure on my leg is extremely painful. It just happened right hours ago. Should I just use RICE or do you recommend seeing a doctor? Thank you.

hi.
have a consultation with a physician, preferably an orthopedic surgeon to evaluate your the extent of your injury. an x-ray might be done and a possible referral to a physical therapist/rehab should be considered for the fast recovery and optimum function of your injured leg.
hope this helps.
good day!
