DD has a sore ankle. It’s been sore for over a week and seems to be getting worse (we had thought it was ok at the weekend and she did sport). She is also complaining of a really sore back since weekend and I can’t help but think 2 are related.
She says her ankle is getting sorer and it’s really painful walking up stairs at school etc but she can weight bear and I haven’t noticed a limp,
The inner ankle bone maybe has a bit of a bruise under the skin but not really noticeable unless you look closely. It feels a bit bigger than the other side but I’m not really aware of any swelling. It was a bit swollen last week but that seems to have cleared.
she is complaining that it’s affecting her sleep overnight.
Gp suggests ibuprofen and gentle exercises and should be ok in a few days but that was over phone.
just a bit concerned as pain is getting worse for her.
should I do as GP suggests and ride it out or from experience, do you think it could do with an xray ? Would she even be able to weight bear or move it normally if any type of fracture? Tia
