“Can you walk with a torn ligament in your ankle?”
I am a 28 year old male. I want to know if you can walk with a torn ligament in your ankle?
1 Answer
Yes. Ankle “sprains” intact are partial tears, sometimes complete tears of ligaments (which connect bone to bone) about the ankle. Despite swelling etc walking is possible, but being cautious, obtaining an ankle support at a pharmacy or sports store is helpful. Then see your local orthopedic surgeon for evaluation.
