Possible gout: It could be a few things such as traumatic arthritis, a new injury or gout. If it is red hot and swollen gout is possible. Need bloodwork and perhaps a new x-ray of the ankle

New X-rays.: If your ankle is still troubling you one year after a bad sprain you most likely have ligament damage. Start with updated X-rays and if you are considering surgical treatment options an MRI would be indicated to view the ligaments. An X-ray will not show ligaments. A sprain is quite simply a stretching or pulling of the ligaments between the bones. See a Board certified Podiatrist.

I sprained my ankle a week ago. The pain started as excruciating but now it's just swollen, feels numb and achey. Almost like it needs to pop. My job requires a lot of walking and I have a brace & follow the RICE method. When should I see a doctor?
