A member asked:

How can i temporarily fix my ankle on my foot i pertu sure i broke it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get evaluated: When someone has continued pain after trying conservative methods I would recommend an evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon or urgent care/ED. Physical examination and radiographs would be the usual place to start at this time. Good luck
