Question

I have a really sore ankle from falling down the stairs sore to walk on bruised and swollen have i sprained it or something worse ?

Answer 1

Needs to be examined: Pain could be as a result of many different things. One would need to do a thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams to determine the exact cause. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, tendon or ligamentous tear, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal abnormality or neurologic.

Answer 2

Possibly: They are of two types. The leiomyoma occurs in the skin or gut but the common form is the uterine fibroid. Rhabdomyomas are rare tumors of muscles, they occur in childhood and often become malignant assuming this is a uterine fibroid, if it were in the proper anatomic location it could cause vascular compromise, nerve compression, pelvic cramping or even a referred pain pattern.

Answer 3

Loss : Loss of automatic reflexes are usually associated with spinal cord injuries and/or severe peripheral nerve fiber loss. The fact that you have no reflex reactions is puzzlesome, and you might actually have them and not know it.

Answer 4

Many possibilities: Reflexes vary from person to person, but also from exam to exam. Repeated testing during a visit can vary for several reasons (position of the leg, how relaxed you are, where the stimulating "tap" is given, etc.). Later in life reflexes may diminish or disappear. Some nerve disorders reduce or eliminate them.

Answer 5

Nerve related: Sound like a nerve related condition: ie: neuroma, neuritis.

Answer 6

Nerve entrapment: Definitely is an entrapment of the intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve. Visit your local podiatrist for an evaluation and possible nerve block as described in a previous answer.

Answer 7

Neuroma: It is possible you have a neuroma. Make an appointment with a podiatrist

Answer 8

Morton's neuroma: Morton's neuroma is also a consideration versus other neuropathic conditions. Fracture, osteoarthritis less likely. Pinch between the web space of the toes and see if it happens. No matter what try a wide toe box shoe with a firm sole until you get it examined.

Answer 9

Blisters under: Toenails are quite common in sports participants. If you're able to drain it, apply a topical antibiotic and wrap it in a band aid, that's about the best you can do short term. You might want to check on the size of the soccer boots. If too small, they can be making things worse. Also, i hope the coach/trainer has them wearing running shoes for the pure running workouts.

Answer 10

See your Podiatrist: Her overuse plus ill fitting soccer shoes are the most likely cause. I would make an appointment with a podiatrist he or she can evaluate her bio mechanics and help her.

Answer 11

Try: Wearing 2 pair of socks. The blister under the nail should be treated first though. With a sterile instrument lance it and apply a bandaid. If you feel uncomfortable doing the procedure, see a podiatrist.

Answer 12

Maybe...: We suggest rest, ice, elevation, compression and NSAID of choice. You don't necessarily have to stop, but you may need to back off some. If it worsens, you may have to stop and get it checked out.

Answer 13

Not neccesarily: If the pain is sharp or persistant, than i would stop and seek medical relief when you have the time. If the pain is mild, check your shoes as they may be worn out, or purchase a stabilizing brace to help as you run.

Answer 14

No: Change shoes if it persists see a podiatrist.

Answer 15

Never continue: Running when you have pain you can cause damage. Try to assess what is causing the pain. Is it your sneaker? If you can't figure it out or the pain persists see a podiatrist or orthopedic foot ankle specialist.
