A member asked:
I have had a high ankle sprain for over three months, should i have an mri with or without contrast ?

It is best to have persistently painful joints looked at, rather than ordering tests first. Depending on what one is looking for, the best test may be an X-ray. The physical exam and a good history will suggest likely possibilities. Best wishes.

High ankle sprain‘s that being the tibia fibular ligament takes a very long time to heal. A minimum of 4 weeks with immobilization. Proper tissue rehab and strengthening is needed. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication is also beneficial with proper contrast bad therapy. This type of an injury cannot be ignored because it can be serious
