I injured my ankle while riding my horse
last march when I put all of my weight
onto it in a corner. It "popped" and
collapsed. Because I did not want to be
told that I had to stay off for a while, I
never had it checked out. Instead I wore
a brace I had from a previous injury for a
while. My toes were numb for about a
month and a half, and would turn purple.
It still bothers me five months later, but
i'm not sure there is any point in going
to a doctor now. Is there anything
besides basic treatments (such as ice,
elevation, exercise and stabilization)
that a doctor could do? Should I go get
it checked? Thanks,
danielle
