ANKLE: yes . see a specialist. get Xray and a USS tomato sure there is no boney or ligament injury. if symptoms persist after that , you may need a MRI.

Yes: After 3 months, ankle sprains that still result in pain, swelling or abnormal popping need further evaluation. X-rays may be utilized for look for bony abnormalities. An MRI can help see ligament, bony, cartilage and tendon problems. At times, all that is required is a home rehab or physical therapy program and a high-quality brace.
