A member asked:
Ongoing ankle injury..hurts when i invert and rotate it..waiting for x-ray to come back but now i think it's ligament damage..serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: X-rays only show bones and will not show ligaments. If ligament injury is suspected u need an mri. Too many doctors miss syndesmosis injuries so if after 2 weeks u still have pain get the mri.
