In Feb I rolled my left foot at home causing what I thought was an ankle sprain. When I went to see my doctor I explained to him that the pain I have is on the inside ankle area he ordered an X-ray. Unfortunately X-ray showed nothing, so he ordered a CT scan. It showed a non displaced fracture at the cuboid bone. After having a slab cast on my foot and X-rays again, the doctor was happy that the cuboid bone was healing properly so next was to start physiotherapy. So I started physiotherapy and after 3 weeks, with still pain in ankle, swelling in the foot that made it look like a football and had a hard time moving my toes, my physiotherapist recommended that I get an MRI. My doctor ordered the MRI. Report came back saying that the talus appeared to have a fracture. So went to see my orthopedic doctor and he said that there is not a fracture at the talus, but gave me a prescription for a lot of pain meds and anti inflammatories and said to go back to my physio. So I showed him where my pain is and now has ordered a bone scan. He also mentioned quickly that he thinks I might have nerve damage but called it some name that I can not remember.
