[|Human|] I twisted my foot/ankle a few days ago at work. I thought it was alright, but in the past day or two it has begun burning and throbbing, but is not swollen. I ve been propping it up and using an ice pack. Anything else that would help? Is it worth getting it looked at by a doctor?
[|AI|]  Hello, As what I feel is an x-ray is a must. It might be an ankle sprain but sometimes a hairline fracture too which gets ignored in initial stages and later the healing is not proper.  Please get an x-ray and meet up and orthopedist. Also, for now kindly Immobilize the ankle with crêpe bandage and keep it elevated over a pillow and do not put 100% of body weight for 2 weeks.  For healing to occur. Most ankle sprains which happen in the ankle ligaments don't heal properly due to poor care. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.
