Diagnostic Techniques, Treatments Forum

I was diagnosed three weeks ago with an ankle sprain. I am still unable to withstand full weight bearing. Every step is painful, like a sharp knife in the top and side of my ankle. Does this sound like a sprain or a missed fracture on x-ray?

Have you been followed up with the on call dr at the hospital or given more than 1 opinion on th sprain?- is it still swollen the size of texas are you on crutches? My husband was misdiagnosed as a sprain when he actually needed surgery- the delay in treatment was 17 days. You better get a second opinion!
