Why Does My Ankle Hurt On Last 2 Or 3 Steps?

Several days ago I turned my right ankle when I stepped in a hole. It rolled to the outside. Some pain but not really bad. No swelling, no discoloration. I have had a sprained ankle and it is not like that. It does not hurt at all when I am sitting or laying down. When I walk more than 15-20 steps it hurts. The first few steps don't hurt but the last 2 or three are really bad. What is this?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.
As per your history and injury pattern there can be tear in ankle ligament leading to pain and swelling.
Instability may increase due to laxity of ligament.

I will advise to repeat MRI ankle for soft tissue involvement.
Till time you can continue use supportive splint or brace.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
