A member asked:

Injured top of foot after falling - xrays said sprain at walk-in clinic. recovered and running again for 6 wks. now pain has started again. thoughts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Foot pain: The pain may be from a recurrent sprain, overuse syndrome, improper footwear or poor running technique. If the foot swelled, a stress fracture would be another possibility. See a podiatrist for evaluation and treatment. Hold off on running at this time.

A member asked:

I have injured my ankle, I am fairly certain it is just a sprain. Should i get an xray to be sure? It has been about 10 days there is very little pain associated with the injury - mostly reactionary pain to more forceful movements like if i were to jog on
