[|Human|] Hi. I was walking down the stairs and I slipped and my ankle twisted and I landed on it. It hurts badly to walk and twist it. I just had a platelet shot in it because my ligaments are messed up and I have arthritis and tendonitis. Please help. Should I see a doctor?
[|AI|]  Hi there thanks for your question.  If you have any pain when you stand or walk on your injured ankle, it suggests severity of injury and warrants further work up which will include an X-ray at the least. Ice and rest usually give relief in pain and swelling over the first two days. But you are not expected to have pain on standing or walking in mild injuries. Such pain should suggest you to take your injury seriously to avoid long term ligament related pains.  Hope this helps All the best. Regards.  Chat Doctor.
