Ankle Sprain healed for a week, then healing extremely slowly? Can put a lot of weight on the heel of my foot, barely any on the balls of my feet.

Hi All,

I recently posted here a week ago about my ankle sprain. It's been exactly 14 days now, and there's been a lot of improvement the first week, and now I'm not sure if there's been any change since the first week.

From 7 days, I was able to limp heavily and continued to use one crutch. Now, I am still limping and I can put a lot of weight on my heel, however, putting any weight on the balls of my feet instantly send a spike to my right side of my ankle.

The bruising is red just above my toes, and the bruising near my ligament on the right side is fading.

(This is my right foot)

I can move my heel up and down EASILY, without any pain. To the right, easily, but when I move it to the left (the way the ankle sprained) it still hurts a lot.

It is not swollen AT ALL!

I really do not like going to doctors or hospitals for some reason and I feel like I should have just seen them earlier.

Thank you!
