My now 11 year old daughter hurt her right ankle playing softball and could not put pressure on it. I took her to an urgent care where it was x-rayed and the resident said there were no breaks or fractures it was only sprained. The nurses placed her in a splint, wrapped everything and had her on crutches for a few days. That was 6 months ago! Since then I have purchased various braces and support bandages as she still complains of pain when walking, running or any other physical activity. Is this typical? I called the pediatrician and he said to send her for physical therapy. Should I take her to another doctor and see if they think she needs an MRI or at least another x-ray in case the original was flawed?
