“My 9 year old may need foot surgery?”
My 9 year old may have sprained his foot while getting off the bus. Does he need surgery? Or does he need some type of physical therapy?

If persistent pain, you should see an orthopedic surgeon, and stop all activities. You could have a growth plate fracture.
Typically, ankle sprains do not require surgery. However, if your son is unable to put weight on his ankle then he should definitely get an x-ray to make sure he didn't break (fracture) anything!
