A member asked:
4 weeks after i tore my ankle ligaments it is swollen and painfull again. whole foot sore.will i need an op? or must i go see dr again?

See doc again: Brace it, ice it, rest it (or use crutches), and when possible elevate it. Wraps are useful if properly applied. You want to see your doctor again. The answer to your question is based on the repeat exam and possibly further testing. Sorry to hear you are having a set back. good luck.
