A member asked:
My ankle has been sprained for a long time and it is very painful. nothing has made it feel better. i tried on my boot from a long time ago, for about 5 minutes, and that made it feel better when it was in the boot. should i go see doctor for a boot?

Seek help : No. Do not see a doctor for another boot. See a doctor to get a proper evaluation and a supervised physical therapy program. After any injury, weakness ensues. I would also consider the need for X-rays at this point. Basically you need to start from the beginning to resolve this problem appropriately.

I had a severe ankle sprain two years ago. I went to a doctor but no x-rays were taken. It still gets painful and swollen at times depending on physical activity and I suspect with certain types of footwear.
