First time poster long time thread reader.
I fell and suffered a grade 3 sprain 3 weeks ago with possible tendon/ligament damage. At the urgent care unit they gave me crutches and a tubey grip. At this point my ankle was already bruised and swelled. I asked for a brace or boot due to the layout of my home,work and caring for my elderly grandparents. When I told them I would struggle to get up the stairs she told me to go up on my knees but due to significant surgery as a child this would be impossible.
This was denied and I was sent on my way. Now 3 weeks later I still can’t put my heal down due to the pain and it’s ever so stiff. My gp can’t get me into a physio appointment and the urgent care centre I attended are refusing to see me again. The only option they are giving me is to go to an walk-in closer to home.
I’m due to give the crutches back in 2 weeks time and there are no physio appointments in these 2 weeks.
Has anyone got any advice on who or where I should try to get help next? I can’t afford private and I’m so anxious about what will happen once the two weeks is up
