Purely based: On exact location of pain and clinical exam the doctor should have a differential diagnosis. Xrays only show bone and are only going to help if there is bony injury. If you simply mark your foot with an "x" take a pic and post it a differential diagnosis could be given...Was your doctor a specialist?

My wife sprained her ankle almost 3 weeks ago. We went to the ER after swelling and pain didnt stop at 2 weeks. Got an X-ray and it wasnt broken. They said severe sprain and bone bruising. We are concerned now because her foot is constantly cold?
