Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Ankle Pain: A walking boot and/or crutches would be the most effective way to decrease pain and keep being ambulatory. You may need to discuss treatment options with your physician.

A member asked:

So I twisted my ankle badly 3 weeks ago. It hurt for a day, but the pain subsided pretty quick. I can walk and stand on it with no pain at all. However, it's still swollen and certain (rare) positions are painful. Is it sprained?
