May need repair : Of the talocalcaneal lig. After 8 months you should have had some healing in the ligament. May need surgical intervention to correct this as this will lead to chronic ankle instability and pain.

Physical therapy: And always walking in an ankle brace. Range of motion excercises while laying in bed. Follow up with doctor.

Repair: After 8 months, you will probably need to be consulted for repair of those chronically torn ligaments and repair of ankle instability and pain. If you need a referral to a good surgeon in your area, please let me know. Good luck.

Time : For surgerical repair. The good news is one you are completely healed your ankle will be stronger than ever!

Have it evaluated.: Pain may last a long time following a foot or ankle injury. An x-ray can show if there is an underlying fracture. You may have a soft tissue injury if it is just a sprain and may have damaged the muscle, tendon, or ligaments in the area. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment. If the pain has not improved with conservative measures surgery may be a good option.
