Falling ankle injury can not walk, what to do?
Question
Doctor, 2 months ago I tripped and fell, the next morning I went to the General Hospital of Thai Nguyen province, I was assigned an X-ray, an ultrasound of the ankle joint and the doctor concluded is only soft tissue damage, the doctor prescribes medicine and bandages the foot. After 1 month, I still had not recovered, so I went to another hospital for an MRI. Then discovered that tibia fracture, doctor ordered ob splint for 2 weeks and prescribed anti-inflammatory. After 3 weeks, I went to Viet Duc to check again, the doctor said that I had an ankle injury and prescribed medicine, but now 2 months later, I still have swelling and a bit of pain. Still limping. So the doctor asked me what I need to do now and is my condition dangerous?
