Avulsion ankle fracture 3wks ago & ruptured ligaments (lateral). cast off today & opposite side (medial?) of ankle is most painful when moving? why?

Ankle sprain: You likely have an ankle sprain of the medial side of the ankle, too. A lateral fracture and medial sprain are common. Physical therapy will help the pain and mobility.
