![[RECOVER FASTER!] How To Treat Your Ankle Sprain At Home!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_6hjIWhB8Yc/mqdefault.jpg)
It’s been 8 years of everyday pain. I’m hoping to finally get it taken care of this year.
Thx for the video. I had my left ALF ligament torn from a Rugby lesion. This was now 35 years ago. I underwent a surgical procedure called Watson surgery which (if I recall) uses a ligament of one not so important muscle in the calf to replace the ALF. Everything went pretty OK until around 5 years ago, when the joint started to loose flexibility, and pain started. Just wanted to share my experience on your Channel. Regards.
Thank you for sharing Diego! We hope you feel better soon.
Thanks for your information it was useful and wonderful, 18 months ago I got inversion during a football match however I did an X-Ray but it didn't show anything and the doctor told me that it is not serious go and rest for a few days then slowly start your exercises again after rest I have done after rest when I started doing sport pain started again until it became worse.
I have referred back to doctor he told me to do MRI and the following is the result of MRI:
1. Subchondral fracture of dome of talus bone with associated surrounding moderate edema.
2. Mild free fluid in tibiotalar joint space.
3. Sprain of anterior tibiotalar ligament.
since that time i have used different medicines under treatment of doctors the front pain is solved but still pain suffers me from the right side and back of ankle some them of doctors say that there is no need for surgery it will be ok in the feature but some says that it wouldn't be back to its normal situation and also no chances of surgical operation. And one thing to be mentioned that there is no instability of ankle I can walk even run but after the muscles becomes starts its pain looking forward for your kind instructions.
Good day sir, it's been 9 months since i twisted my ankle and right now there is no problem in my ankle if i run and walk but when i tilt it around i can feel a little bit pain
Sir it’s been over 1 year ago I twisted my ankle still having much pain,
Only to finally find out after an mri I have 2 ligaments damaged.
Is this surgery you speak of able to heal ligaments after such a long time?
Thank you for your time.
Happy Holidays
Hi. If the question is for me, I can tell you that the Watson surgery implies replacing the function of the ALF with a tendon. So, it does not heal your damaged ligaments...it replaces them (at least the ALF). As for the lapse of time since the injury: its no problem actually. I had my surgery after 8 or 10 years of continuous ankle twists, so it was kind of a last resource. At least 35 years ago, there should be, I guess, more modern ways to treat your condition nowadays. Best of luck, and kind regards.
My ankle is swollen still after a week. The x-ray place gave me a fookin' CD though with my x-ray results. I'm asking them for an email of the results. Let's see what they say
I had my lateral ligament injury two days ago....can plaster heal my injury..??
How did it go??
My Mri report
1. Mild joint effusion noted in ankle joint.
2. Mild edema noted along posterior talo fibular ligament with surrounding fluid - possibility of sprain
likely.
3. Mild tenosynovitis noted along parioneal tendon.
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS REPORT
PLZ REPLY ..
What should I do I had torn my ankle tendons and it's almost two months and it still hurts
Hello, our advice would be to see a doctor or specialist as they will give advice and/or treatment for your injury.
Bro try to do some breathing exercises like pranayam
I was also in the same situation as of yours and I started doing these exercises and it made wonders to me
I've rolled my left ankle few times. No instability but chronic pain beneath my lateral malleolus. Is it on going OA??
I had ligament rupture 4 years ago. I have started to feel the pain again. The doctor says the ligament might not have repaired. Is there a surgery required?
Hi Antra, we'd love to answer your question right here in the comments, however we're the TD marketing team who monitor the comments and therefore we leave the medical advice to the trained specialists. If you’d like to speak to Mr Abhijit Guha, you can do so by booking a consultation via his profile: bit.ly/2NmVpr9. We hope you find the answer to your question. Kind regards, the Top Doctors team.
Sir I don't know if I have the instability or not because I don't put too much pressure on that leg, but I do feel pain at a certain place while squatting. Also when I forgot I have the injury and use the leg equally it hurts. What should I do, it's not a sharp pain but it's only because I'm being careful with that.
Ankle Ligament tablo fibula partial tear since one year......
Same
Maariyo
Please pray 🙏 my ankle is no badly injured. :(
just had ultrasound on my left ankle, " complete tear of anterior talofibular ligament with no fibres identified " ( this maybe long standing ) was the report
also mentioned is " plantar fasciitis " , thickened and slightly heterogeneous, 0.5mm further across than the right foot.
The last time i rolled this ankle badly was around September 19' , its now 3 mths later.
is surgery the best option now, and will it have any long term negative effects. flexibilty and stiffness had been mentioned as a possible long term effect, but would physio bring that back
to normal ?
Hey I'm just about to have an ultrasound on my ankle that I sprained 6 months ago and still hurts. Just wanted to know how you're doing now. ( My Aftl is what hurts the most)
Finn seeing as covid came along and so banned from the type of work i do, ive been not putting much stress on it, i still been waking as per normal and over time , it seems all good now , both ligament and my heel problem, i dont feel any pain or restrictions now, can even flex foot alot more tilting outwards , with no pain.
That would be walking lol not waking
@@TheFykle so you just rested it? No physio?
Finn that is correct, no opp, no physio, just all self healed over time.
It is now coming up to 10 mths as to when i last stuffed it, ( around oct 2019)
Been working til around July this year , and even with that i think i stopped having probs by around april / may 2020, as work had thinned out it sort of laid the pressure off, then covid meant no work at all.
Overall i think if i kept off it ( apart from just walking ) .. the thing wouldve self healed within 3-4 mths , but sadly i wasnt in a position to lay back a bit for that long
What if I can move sprained ankle as far as normal ankle 1 month after sprain
Ligaments in my ankle doing pre season of rugby 2 months later (4 days ago) after it getting better an better I have re done it any tips??
I got Ancel damage 2 years before and it is on and off pain and swallowing. The Doctor talled me if he do oppression it could be worst. I can't carry heavy thing's. I am really worry about it. Any advice please.

Mine is completely torn. Dr prescribed 2 weeks of physical therapy to hopefully get it to start healing. It's been 5 weeks now. Can therapy and movement actually help or will I probably need surgery?
Hi! For the most reliable answer, a doctor will need to look at your specific case. Therapy and movement do help recovery, and only a doctor will be able to tell you if you need surgery.

I had an ATFL partial thickness tear 2 weeks ago. I am in a cast and non bearing. My orthopaedic surgeon told me total 3 weeks of cast and then to gradually start the physio. But even after 2 weeks of cast I still feel the swelling is still there and if I keep my leg down for too long it starts hurting again. Will this surgery get the swelling down?

Sir..my ancle tendon surgery is over medam 40 days back...im in home on bed rest ...sir I'm the national football player and state level runner and athletics sports person.. future any problem..my sports career and life please answer me .... please
I would never visit a physiotherapist for my ligament injury, I'm sure it gonna worsen.
THIS IS INDIA.
I visited a senior orthopaedic consultant and he gave me zerodol 🤣 and asked me I can wear an ankle band if I need to walk long.
I visited after 3 months I had the injury.
now it's 6 months
I still have problems if walk or work more.
What did u did after that?
Is that ok now?
@@monishaloganathan3594 it's been more than 1 year now I'm better, can walk without limping (was slightly limping in initial days to avoid pressure) but if you sit in squatting position or pressure on the ankle then yes I feel uncomfortable till today.
@@collectiontube4081 I fell down from steps, and my right, leg ankle ligament tore on jan 18th
Today it's feb 8th and i removed, my plaster yesterday but still my swelling increasing and i dont have any idea what to be done next...
And also I don't have much time to let it heal on its own...
Can someone suggest me what to be done
My doctor said me to take rest this week and to put crip bandage while walking ...
But i think so it won't get recovered even after this week
I'm scared and confused about my next step...
@@monishaloganathan3594 usually ligament injury takes very long time to get healed. like years. Yes you need rest or walk less as much as possble, use crepe bandage too, simply follow *his advise that's the best* and getting good in 1 month is not possible TBH.
Trust me it's not only in India. It's better to get checked by a doctor first rather than go straight to a PT. There are countless of stories from people globally who went straight to a PT. Instead of healing, their injury got worse.
