A member asked:

Ever since i sprained my ankle i haven't been able to wear high heels. any advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ankle sprain: Sometime sprains take a long time to heal. If the soft tissue was severely damaged, or if injury was done to the bone in the ankle, you may require interventional types of procedures. I would recommend evaluation by either a podiatric physician or foot and ankle orthopedic surgeon.
