Ankles

Pain below ankle about an inch towards the toes, what is it and how do I treat it?

The pain is about an inch from the ankle on the top of my foot, more towards the outside and about an inch past my ankle towards the toes. I was on my knees sitting on my feet and fell back and bent my foot backwards, at the time it didn’t hurt but as the day progressed and walked around it started to hurt. It only hurts when I wear shoes or walk on hard surfaces.

Sounds painful what you did.

I would think it is probably spained or torn ligaments. Get it checked out though because you could have fractured one of the bones in there. And if it is a torn ligament, the doctor needs to monitor that for proper healing or your foot will get messed up later!

Good luck honey!

I’m having ankle surgery and was wondering about the recovery time?

I found out that i tore a ligament in my ankle and I need surgery, i was wondering if anyone knew how long the recovery time is. I’ve had knee surgery before but that was a total reconstruction of my ACL. My ankle is only partially torn. I believe the ligament is the ATFL, whatever that is.

you tore a ligament now
you had ACL (ligament) surgery in past
same time if everything goes the same along the way of your healing process… good luck!!
