I went over on my ankle nearly 6 weeks ago, heard a strange noise but got up and walked on it without any problems, got to work (care assistant) and with in 2 couple of hours could not walk on it at all. Went for xray 2 days later, they said it was a sprain, 4 days later i get a phone call to say that there was a query on the xray and they thought i had a Potts fracture. went down and had a non weight bearing cast on for 3 days, went back fracture clinic and it was taken off, i was asked if i had pain over the top of the foot which i did not, i said pain was inside of outside of ankle which at the time it was. doctor said he thought it was a sprain too but did not xray again. well here i am 6 weeks later and still in pain.
