Lateral Ankle Pain Posted: 12-02-04 10:41am
My 13 year old daughter dances, tap,
ballet, and jazz 3 times a week, she
complained of ankle pain 11 weeks ago,
x-rays are normal, bone scan normal, mri
normal. Recently started neurotin 300 mg
every day for nerve pain in the ankle,
with no decrease in pain. She had
physical therapy for 6 weeks with increase
in strength. She wears an afo and tape
and can usually walk without pain, but any
activity causes pain. I am at a loss
with what to do. This has become a
chronic pain issue. Any
suggestions??????

Was her pain when this happend like
exscrushiating......... To the point
where she just cried it hurt so bad?! B.C
from the sounds she might have torn the
ligaments in her anckle or else she might
have tendonitus...... I have blown both
of my anckles and have had to go to
physical therapy over 7 times just for my
right anckle! :( its a pretty painful
experience and I have to be extreemly
careful b.C I play basketball volleyball
and other sports to! I also was on pain
medicantion that was twice the strenght
and that did not stop my pain! Have u
tried takin her to a sports medican
clinic?? After her physica therapy did
they giver her home exercises to do?! If
so make sure she is doing them! And maybe
she might need to take a break from her
dance, tap, ballet and jazz! It might not
make her to happy but it might be the best
thing for her right now! If its
tendonitus it will need to be rested and
if its a tare then its surley going to
need a lot of rest and ice! Hope this
helps...... I would really look into
gettin her into a sports clinic
