A member asked:

I have a 3rd degree ankle sprain and torn in half ligament in my ankle. now today my whole leg knee to foot swollen huge and hurts? should i worry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes you should worry. If you haven't gotten and MRI you should consider this right away. You don't want to live the rest of you live with a weak ankle that could have been fixed. Let's see exactly what is wrong.
