What Causes Persistent Ankle Pain Despite Taking Steroids After An Injury?
I have had an MRI of my ankle, tried everything from kt tape, braces, and wraps and still am having pain. The MRI said I had a previous tear injury to my anterior talofibular ligament but is still entact. I did not know there was ever a tear. I m in constant pain everyday. I am an active ballet dancer. I dance almost everyday. There is minimal swelling like a little knot near the pain, I m thinking scar tissue. Currently am taking steroids to see if that will help. Last resort is surgery. I m just tired of the pain and don t know what to do
