Is it possible to have a fractured ankle with no bruising/swelling?

Is it possible to have a fractured ankle with no bruising/swelling? I’ve sprained my other ankle in the past, and doesn’t feel the same. I fell, heard and felt a crack, and immediately felt really nauseous. Lots of pain if I try to move it or walk on it, but zero external indicators. It’s mostly a dull ache that sometimes radiates up calf and under arch. Burning sensation and a bit of numbness if I try to bear weight on it.

I had a snowboarding accident, I’m always either in pain or dull and achy- am I cursed?

I had a snowboarding accident 6 years ago. I tumbled down a small ski mountain and landed on my left shoulder at an odd angle before I stopped flat on my back with my feet twisted completely backwards (with the snowboard attached). I was driven to the urgent care clinic and told I sprained my shoulder, my ankles, and have concussion (that lasted 6 months). They gave me a sling and crutches and sent me off. A year later I came back with a pinched nerve and my shoulder, and in checking it out they uncovered a long list of issues connected to the accident: weakened ankles and knees (I’d have sudden shooting pains and my legs would give out), left hip at a lower angle than the other, and as well as a pinched nerve in my left shoulder that had been numbing my entire arm, the muscles around my shoulder blade were so loose the bone was winging out. Rock hard, painful and aching muscles that were so tight neither my physical therapist nor a professional masseuse could work them out, even with electric -therapy. I’ve been in physical therapy for 6 years straight, get a massage here and there, try and work out knots with the thera cane I was given, but I’m always either in pain or dull and achy in my left shoulder, neck, and sore all up and spine and near both shoulder blades now. When I walk too much my left tilted hips aches. It’s hard for me to sleep as I sleep curled on my left side. I’ve been to the hospital and they told me it was all a muscle issue and that I ought to just keep doing physical therapy, but other than taking away the brunt of the agony, it’s really not doing much. Am I just cursed to do all this physical therapy for the rest of my life and be in pain, or is there anything at all more I can do??

I sprained my ankle really bad I have partial tears of ligaments – need second opinion?

I sprained my ankle really bad 2 months ago! I got an X-ray but the X-ray was okay. The swelling didn’t go even after two weeks so my doctor suggested getting no an mri. The Mri repost said I have partial tears of the anterior talofibular and calceneofibular ligaments!

Other findings are-
Marrow edema involving the lateral talar dome, portion of the medial malleolus and small portion of the cuboid presumably representing intraosseous contusions.

I don’t understand the above and I’m really freaking out! My podiatrist has given me naproxen and asked me to make alphabets with my foot everyday for a month. But I want to know it is really unusual to have the selling even after two months. I can walk easily I have no pain. But pain is get in mornings when I wake up. Plz let me know if I should get a second option from another podiatrist?

I’ve had a metal rod in my arm for 10 years, now I want it removed?

Hello. If any doctor is willing to help me with answering this question, I would be really happy. So back when I was 7 years old,like a month before turning 8, I broke my left arm,right before the elbow, the incision is like 6 cm long, for which I had undergone a surgery for and a metal rod was put there to hold the bone in place. The thing is that I had to go 2 years later and get the rod removed, which I didn’t cause at the time I was really scared that they would need to amputate my arm , I know pretty funny, but I was playing violent games from an early age. Years passed and I didn’t really mind the metal rod, didn’t feel it or anything. Starting 18 I started having some minor pain there after I ve forced myself with some weights,push ups and things such as that. Now I’m 19 and I really want to go get it removed, since I am still feeling some minor pain and I cant force myself with weights or sports too much anymore and I also started having nightmares about it. What I would like to know is if it is still possible, if it is done quickly under local anesthesia or general anesthesia,a little bit harder and how long it would take to heal. Appreciate the help.

My ligaments are cracking, grinding, painful – Rice Krispie Sounds – what do I have?

On 8/4/15 my body totally changed and I have been sick with my main complaint of Rice Krispie sounds everywhere in my joints, joint instability, neck pain, knee pain, and headaches and recently raynauds. I have had a neck/knee X-ray, visit to neurologist and rheumatologist and orthopedist. The only diagnosis I have received was loose ligaments. My feet and area behind my knees cramps and I’m getting worse. My ana and RF is negative, my sed rate is 2 and no C-reactive protein issues. Initial Lyme test was positive but immublot was negative. About to check into the mayo clinic I’m so baffled and feel like my head might fall off my neck. I can turn my head in a repeated direction and get disabling pain and grinding/popping.Tylenol does not help the pain. I have some neurological symptoms including no “wow” during an orgasm and had period of extreme stress Past Two years. Since ruling out lupus, RA? Maybe adrenal issue?? I’m so frustrated I just want this “named!”

I am a cheerleader, my leg cracked?

I am an 18 years old female. Today in cheerleading practice after streching my legs (i was practising for about 45-60mins before that) i tried to do the splits and went down without putting any pressure or feeling any pain. Then my front leg cracked and i feel intense pain after that. I applied ice with no much result. Could you understand by that how severe the strain is? And how much time will it need to recover?
