Last September, I put my foot down a pothole and twisted it badly.  As previously recorded, I was in a lot of pain at the time and had to rest it for a few days.  Bruising came out swelling went down a bit, but have had continual swelling since.  I hadn't taken much notice of it until comparatively recently as it has suddenly become worse. It was uncomfortable, not agonising but it darkened a bit, so off I trot (notice:::not limp) to the quacks for a checkup.  She prodded it a bit, and I looked on - then she touched an area that I did not think was a problem and yelped in pain. I am now limping!

I am off for an Xray as they think I might have originally had a hairline fracture - not sure quite what they would plan to do if I had, as it happened over four months ago.  If there is nothing there, I have to get ultrasound from the physio guy.  Crabby now - have got some gel for pain, but not happy.  Still, best to get it looked at, I suppose.

Disappointed to hear about this problem with your foot. Hope the pain lessens and you get the relief you need.

Ouch, that doesn't sound good :( I hope they can work out the problem and be able to fix it for you.

I'm glad you went back to the doctor and are going to have an x-ray. Hope you get results and instructions to help and heal it.

Ouch, I had my ankle twisted real bad several year ago. Went to doc and had all the shebang done but nothing torn or broken. Doc said it would have been easier to treat if I had. I still have that support sock they gave me and on bad days I am still wearing it. It never went back to normal properly. Keep my fingers crossed that your case is easier.
