I had a box fall on the top of my foot at the ankle joint i am now 7 months since injury still a lot of pain and swelling on the outside of my ankle

See Podiatrist: 7 months is a long time to be in pain. You need to get it evaluated so you can get the treatment you need.

I suggest: You have an x-ray and possible an mri. 7 months is too long to have pain. You may have a fracture.

See Doctor: Persistent pain after 7 months may indicate significant disease or injury to the bone or soft tissues which was not appreciated 7 months ago. You should go back to your Doctor for re-evaluation, or ask for a referral to a Foot Specialist, and have your foot pain looked at.
