“Ankle fracture?”
I'm a 20 year old from India. On 26th March 2021, I had a fall while playing volleyball and then I was diagnosed with Jones Fracture for left leg with the cast for 1 month of which 8 days are still remaining. I was barely able to move with jumping on my right leg. But today 18 April 2021, I had another fall while moving from bathroom to bed and it involves stairs. I think my right ankle is also fractured. If it's true. What should I do now? I mean how can I move now?

Go to the doctor and get an X-ray to evaluate the ankle and foot.

If the pain is terrible and there’s a lot of swelling, you need to see your orthopedic doctor and have an X-ray for the right ankle. If there is no bone pain when you palpate the outside bone, it’s more likely that you have a sprain.
