ligament injury??

[anderlee]

hi, i have pain in my left ankle when i point my foot so finding it hard to wear heels and drive. I think i pulled it when i wore some heels 3 weeks ago.

Have i pulled the ligament?? What can i do about it? Really cant be bothered going to GP. Will Ibuprofen work and will it get better on its own?

thanx in advance

Will only heal up with rest. I did this last August and carried on with strapping as I have just started a new job. I still have problems

get some remedial massage treatment on your ankle. massage is very beneficial for soft tissue injuries. you need to take ibuprofen as a course, so take as prescribed for say 4-6 days (with food as it can damage the stomach lining)

Also try wrapping your ankle with elastoplast. It will help to keep the ankle firm and sturdy. Hope it feels better soon.
