What is the question: Have you injured your ankle? You may have joint mites, osteochondroma, exostosis....I am not really clear on what you question is.

Okay...: And if you know that you had an x-ray so what did the treating doctor recommend? We don' t have the luxury of seeing your x-rays wgich makes choosing a treatment treatment plan more difficult.

Dr Hickerson and another doctor agreed
