Let's say you're out on a trail run, you roll your ankle and sprain it. So what do you do?
You limp home, you get back to the car, you ice it, you take some pressure off of it, you elevate it, you do all the right stuff. But, it's really painful and swollen the next few days.
Then, maybe a day or two later, it's black, it's blue and swollen. But even worse, you look down and you're kind of dismayed because your toes are swollen like sausages.
Believe it or not, I have had a number of patients who called me, not because they sprained their ankle, but because they were actually worried they may have broken toes as well.
Is it possible to break your toes at the same time you get an ankle sprain?
Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
