Today when I ran up a ramp, my ankle popped and it immediately swell. I couldn t really bare the pain, but managed to get up and limp. It was fine for a while, but when I walked up the stairs, it popped twice and I was in excruciating pain. The swelling increased. Now, it feels like there is an air bubble in my ankle that will pop at any moment. It is hard for me to walk, especially on stairs. Also, I can barely move my ankle, and it is still swollen. Is my ankle dislocated, fractured, or sprained?
Hello sir, welcome to Chat Doctor I have read your history and I would like to say that you should visit the orthopedic doctors once and for x-ray. It will give u exact idea about fracture, dislocation, or displacement. Some precautions that you have to take at home take proper rest apply pain reliever ointment over the affected part but do not message Ito not move your ankle and do not weight bear on affected limb, it will worsen your condition apply Ice massage over swelling within 24 hours of injury after that move to hot water fomentation twice in a day add salt to hot water bath it will relieve swelling and improve circulating as well as promoting healing thanks think this will help u
