Dear Dr. Dixon,

I sprained my ankle two weeks ago, and was on crutches for the first week as I could not walk on my ankle. I have now got it in a brace and am walking on it. It still causes me pain at the end of the day is it OK to carry on walking.

Dear Sarah,

You could have a slight fracture or a totally torn ligament and still be able to walk on it with pain at two weeks. I suggest you have an exam and possibly an Xray at your doctors office.
