A member asked:

How can i tell if the bones in my ankle are separating without an x-ray? i sprained my ankle 7 months ago and i am still in a lot of pain.

See MD: 7 months after a sprain you should have healed and not be experiencing pain. Definitely see your primary for evaluation if imaging is necessary your medical professional will discuss this with you.
