Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am an 18-year-old female. I have been suffering from ankle pain. This problem started when a hockey ball hit my ankle one week ago. There is fair bruising, and its size is seven centimeters. I have been limping for four days.
Please help.
Thanks.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
The pain is due to injury only. That is why I suggest you do not put weight on the body and should also walk with support. And I suggest you do an ankle X-ray once to check for fractures.
But most probably, such pain occurs due to muscle injury. So apply Diclofenac ointment twice daily, and take tablet Paracetamol 500 mg once after a meal whenever pain.
Consult a specialist doctor and take medications with their consent. Also, let me know the following details:
1. Is the pain severe?
2. Did you hit it hard?
I hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
