Ankle Injury - Sense Check

[Sazzlesw2]

Hey,

A WWYD question and sense check.

TLDR: Re injured my ankle after sprain and tiny avulsion fracture in Oct, should I go to Minor Injuries or wait for MRI on the 15th?

At the end of October I fell whilst jogging and sprained my ankle and also a tiny bit of bone came off my lateral malleolus.

Fast forward to January I was still in pain and went back to the Fracture clinic who referred me for an MRI and think I have ligament damage.

I started doing physio at the same time but that hasn't really helped.

Yesterday my 10yo walked into my ankle and kicked the exact spot where my ankle hurts. Since then I've been in more pain than normal and my ankle swollen again (not much but noticeable)

I'm wondering if I should wait until my MRI or go to Minor Injuries tomorrow and see if a second xray would pick something up?

Definitely go to minor injuries

Tbh I’d wait, unless you think it’s fractured.

All A&E can do is strong pain relief. They don't fix ligaments.

Thanks everyone.

I think the MRI is going to be the best way to find out what is going on with it. Will stick my boot back on for some support and protection
