mri scan of ankle

Get a MRI and CT scan to rule out any pathology. Do not bear weight on the foot. Change the footwear as desired as per the comfort. Take some anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen and take rest.

Hi, went to orthopedic after mri and he said he may possibly have to break the ankle to repair it. Have you heard of this and could advise why or what's involved in this type of surgery?

on outside of my right foot, half way between my ankle and toes, i feel a tearing sensation when i bend my foot at certain angles. the pain level increases the farther i extend my foot. please advise what this may be.

DEAR DR, I HAVE HAD AN XRAY, ULTRA SOUND, MRI AND BONE SCAN. I HAVE A LUMP SIZE OF A 5 CENT PIECE BACK OF ANKLE. PAIN IS 24/7 BUT MORE SEVERE 10/10 WHEN I GET UP AFTER A REST. I HAVE SEEN AN ANKLE SPECIALIST, PHYSIO, PODIATRIST BUT NONE OF THE TREATMENT IS HELPING. NOT ONLY HAVE I SINUS TARSI SYNDROME WHAT I HAVE READ ABOUT MY CONDITION IS CHRONIC TENDONITIS. BUT MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS 4 MONTHS AND I FEEL I WILL NEVER WALK PROPERLY EVER AGAIN.

I had my first MRI scan today with contrast of brain and spine, suspected MS. Have been told results take about two weeks. If it was a tumour would I hear sooner. I live in Britain .

MRI not CT is more appropriate for evaluating ligaments of ankle and/or foot.

MRI DONE, MRI READING NORMAL. PAIN ONLY ON THE FOOT. BETWEEN START OF TOES AND ANKLE. PAIN WHEN I WALK, STEP DOWN AFTER SITTING OR LYING DOWN.

Seven weeks ago I had a fall on some uneven concrete. Ankle went and I fell onto my left knee. People with me were more worried about my knee but most pain was in the ankle at the time so I was completely unconcerned by the knee. I got up and walked to my meeting, then went to a doctor who briefly glanced at my knee and gave it the all clear, and diagnosed a sprain in my ankle. Five weeks later an xray showed a fracture to my right ankle (lateral malleolus).

It could also be stress fractures of the bones of the foot. You will need MRI of the whole foot, X-rays of the foot, EMG and nerve conduction studies for a confirmed diagnosis. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history.

I had initially fractured my ankle and developed Avascular Necrosis in talar area of ankle. My surgeon has conducted several x-rays and I have had MRI, CT scan, and bone scan. Conclusion - pain related to hardware. He refuses to remove the 2 screws however. It has been confirmed by diagnostics that fusion is 100 percent complete too. I have gone to 2 other surgeons; one refuses to go behind another surgeon; the other is disinterested it seems to help me too.

Since there is swelling on one side this could be due to ligament tear or bony spur. Impingement of the ankle joint between the bones of ankle and foot is another possibility. Osteoarthritis, gout and rheumatoid arthritis are the other possibilities. Bursitis can give a sudden onset pain. Dislocation or rupture of a tendon can also cause shooting pain.

Hi, I had a MRI scan a couple of days ago but no one has really explained to me what has happened, I will be reviewed by the spinal team as an outpatient. I have posted the results below and I would really appreciate if someone could explain in non medical terms what is happening. Here's some background info. I have had a recurring bad back for the past 10 years, but at the side of my back. Usually every six months for a couple of weeks at a time then back to normal.

If its not urget then wait in emergencies they do either mri or cat scan I can't remember which again only emergency. Your wrist can wait :) I've to have an ankle removed hoping I don't get appointment until baby is here!

I went to the hospital today to get the results of my MRI scan.The scan was taken on the 28th june. The results are: the distal fibular fracture is not yer united and there is approximately 3 mm of granulation tissue between the ends of the fracture fragments. Bone oedema is seen on both sides of the fracture line but there is no significant displacement.

Also, dislocation of the ankle joint is rarely seen without an associated fracture.So an x-ray or MRI of the foot is required to confirm whether it was a dislocation or fracture ankle.Pls get it done to clear any doubts. In any case, a dislocated ankle requires an average of 3-6weeks to heal completely.Till then adequate rest should be given to the part.Some severe cases may take months to heal.This depends on the extent of injury to ankle. Hope it helps.

The pain is horrible and burning under the ball of my ankle and up the back of my leg into my calf. I started swelling up again to about a baseball size in my injured ankle and its constant pain. It has been 7 months and I have gotten no better. I have been on Vicodin, Vicoprofin, Ladicane patches, neurotin, lyicra, diladen (just after the spine injection) motrin, ... im sure more. Nothin helps the pain . What can I ask the neurologist when I see him?

Now about a month back i had fallen while snowboarding and it bent my knee inwards the pain at the time wasnt too bad but its worsening and also is making my ankle hurt more. Im only 21 years old 140 lbs any type of reason for the constant ankle pain would be appreciated.

He has done ex rays but has never ordered any further testing such as MRI or Cat Scan. I left the office very troubled by his demeanor. I am so much in pain I finally have sought a 2nd opinion. When I called there office and stated my situation they were shocked with these symptoms that I was not ordered a Cat scan or MRI. I forgot to mention after the surgery my left leg dragged and I had a extreme shooting pain down that leg with numbness for several weeks following surgery.

i have gotting done eng bone scan 3 different MRI and 6 sets of x-rays

Originally in May 2015, I had grade 2 ankle sprain of ATFL ligament and bone edema in calcaneus...this was after completing exercise program T25 and running. Had CT scan, MRI scans, cortisone injections, Xrays, and everything shows to be normal now, but the pain has not subsided. I even had sinus tarsi debridement surgery in my right foot. I have tried chiropractor, physical therapy, and I am now going for Active Release Therapy. I was wondering if anyone had a similar case out there.

I sprained my ankle two weeks ago, and it feels much better now, but I went back to the doctor and he said he wants an MRI because of how badly it had bruised. The swelling has gone down a lot, but the hurt ankle is still a lot bigger than the uninjured one. I can walk with very little sometimes no pain, but it is still very stiff and sore in the morning when I wake up after it has been still all night.

Was back at the hospital this morning they hav diagnosed post traumatic parasympathetic nerve damage after falling and have advised physiotherpy. I have insisted on an mri scan.
