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 the night of 10/19/19 and my ankle is still very stiff, slightly swollen, and hurts. I haven't been doing the ABC exercises as much as the Doctor recommended, but I am very active at work and walk frequently. Is this normal?

I had a severe ankle sprain two years ago. I went to a doctor but no x-rays were taken. It still gets painful and swollen at times depending on physical activity and I suspect with certain types of footwear.

How do I know how serious my ankle injury is? I twisted my ankle walking (rolled it) and it hurts pretty bad and is swollen. Could I have broken it? If it is a sprain, do I need to see a doctor or will it just heal on its own?
