My ankle, could it be fractured again?!


Question: My ankle, could it be fractured again.?
alright so i fractured my ankle about 2 months ago and after it healed i started playing basketball and yesterday while i was playing i didnt fall or anything but i just felt a bit of pain in my ankle and i looked at it and it was swollen a bit and so i put ice on it and it went down a bit but it hurts when i walk a little and the thing is my ankle fractured on the side of it but the pain is coming from the middle of my foot so is it just like a sprain or could it be broken.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
After 2 months your fracture should have been healed but that does not mean you are ready to return to all of your previous activities. You have to gradually return to activities such as basketball. I would have you rest, elevate and ice for 2-3 days. If your swelling and pain is eliminated then I would slowly return to playing sports and other activities. Were you referred to a PT (Physical Therapist) after your injury. If not, I would ask your doctor for a referral (or visit a PT directly if you are in a state that allows direct access) so that you can be shown exercises to strengthen the muscles that help support the foot and ankle to allow you to be able to return to your prior level of function.Health Question & Answer
