I have a high ankle sprain and also need screws to fuse some splayed ankle bones from previous broken ankle that I never knew about. Video was informative

[moveforward]

Thorough and informative. This answered questions I have as a concerned parent to a highly active and competitive athlete. It gives me enough to know how to plan and know what to ask. Appreciated!

[vikiross]

thank you for the video, it is very informative. In terms of shoes: I am not a 20-yrs old, but I have been wearing barefoot shoes for the past 4 years. I had an injury 19 months ago - it turns out that after 3 surgeries, I may need another one due to syndesmosis injury as well. What if none of the supportive shoes fit? My foot shape (even before the injury) just laugh e.g. Hoka Wide shoes (they are just not wide enough). Do you have any recommendations? (btw I am in Europe) Thank you for your advise.

Tom- question for you? Lets say its been well over 6 months but i keep playing on the ankle...and im just not getting there.. i can do a calf raise double and single.... but i still get swelling after i play as well as turf toe and a bit of adductur hallicus issues ... just the whole foot seems to be a bit injured.... I can play or run but not push off how i want or jump how i want to.... and still swilling after I finally am deciding to go in a boot and go more conventional methods like ice and rest.... .I also feel issues with extensor halicus longus.... just a multi facet issue going on here.... whats the best treatment going forward.... boot, ice and stop playing for a bit so those tendons and ligaments can finally heal?

[Dani-cqfy]

Love all your informative, detailed, and helpful videos!!! I wish I would have known this information sooner. Thank you!

[VinceGuitarHub]

Been 4 months, feel stiffness, unstability, and some disconfort when I squad and specially when I do calf raises. Any tips? I can run and walk with no problem, but I still do not feel 100 percent to play Soccer.

I have a question, I currently have a broken ankle. I'm having an awful time with crutches even though I've put padding for my armpits and hand area, they're terribly uncomfortable. I'm wondering your opinion on the forearm crutches? I have to do something.

[nursejenny]

Good day - Have you ever done a video on PLANTAR FIBROMA or same condition known as LEDDERHOSE DISEASE?

[MattBounpraseuth]

Hi Dr. where can I contact you or what is your Clinic Area? Can you give me please ?

[FilmyCraze]

[KiidBow]

Anyone else ankle gets cold or hurt when it’s cold outside?

[arjiealcaldetv]

My ankle sprain now is 1 year, i can walk normal, but when i jump and run, it is hurt, how should i do pls help 😣😣 what is the best medication homemade, i can go to the doctors because i dont have money 😭😭

[thatlaserlady]

My leg was all the way asleep while I was sitting on couch and I got up and walked on it and it went all kinds of ways and I previously shattered that same ankle in a car accident so I really messed it up. What do you suggest for someone that evidentally has multiple tendon/ligament issues going on at the same time. My Dr gave me a brace but otherwise isn't helping so I have to do it myself. Thanks.

[JOHNSMITH-bihr]

NICE JOKE....LOL....BUT SERIOUSLY CAN SYNDESMOSIS SOMETIMES BE MISDIAGNOSED AS LUMBAR RADICULAPATHY AND WOULD THE PT FOR BOTH BE SIMILAR?
