In '85 medial and posterior malleolus fractures of left ankle lateral malleolus fracture of right ankle. they do not show in current xrays. how is that possible & would it acct 4 my ankle pain now?

Possibly: Sounds like u had bilateral ankle fx.'s @ age 21.Apparently no surgery? . 28 years later (if your fractures required no surgery) then it wouldn't be unusual to see " normal" appearing ankle bones since your fractures were minimally or non- displaced.See an orthopedic surgeon now for evaluation. Your pain now may be unrelated... Or u could be developing subtle arthritic changes best seen on mri.
