Persistent ankle sprain pain and My Actifit Report Card: November 29 2018
Today a middle-aged Omani lady came to me with the complaints of pain and swelling in the left ankle for the last 2 weeks. On enquiry, her husband mentioned that she had a similar type of problem in the same joint 2 months earlier following an ankle sprain. Then she took some painkillers and a few days later, the problem subsided. This time she denied any new incidence of sprains or fall down.
On examination, I found mild swelling on the inner aspect of the left ankle joint. Tenderness was also mild, and moreover, she could walk unaided without obvious limping.
Anyway, I ordered a plain X-ray left ankle joint as after the starting of the problem no X-ray was done. But the radiological investigation didn't show any noticeable problems.
What may happen to this patient? Why the pain has returned back?
I think, she may have a trivial new sprain again but didn't care that time enough to keep remembering.
Her first sprain wasn't healed properly. It was partially healed. She didn't take care of the ankle much. Now, due to the old injury, along with her weight (75 kg) causing the new problem. Some orthopaedic doctor recommends POP backslab or cast on the ankle joint following a sprain as well.
