R/O STRESS FRACTURE: YES: You need to rule out a stress fracture vs ankle sprain. Get X-rays of the ankle, If negative MRI of the ankle and potentially a bone scan is indicated. A stress fracture takes awhile to heal and you may need pain medication and close follow up. For now RICE, Rest /ICE/COMPRESSION/ELEVATION.
