a heavy object fell on my ankle in 2008 i still have pain and swelling an saw quite a few specialists and had a mri xray and ultrasounda and they cant find a problem i saw a neurologist he thought it was nerve damage but cant find anyting do you know what it might be
Any cause of peripheral neuropathy should be ruled out. Kindly check your blood sugar level both fasting and postprandial to rule out any diabetic neuropathy. Completely avoiding any movements can increase the pain hence daily walking is recommended. Physiotherapy can also be helpful in reducing the discomfort. Vitamin B12 and B6 are useful in reducing nerve pain. They are available in tablet forms which can be taken daily after food Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
