Why does my ankle still hurt several months after a sprain?
I picked up an injury while running a few months back that had me off my feet with severe ankle pain for a few days. I was told that I should limit walking until it's already healed and do everything I can to avoid excess ankle pain by whatever means. Well, it's been a few months since then and I still have ankle pain when walking, and I don't even think about running because the injury is still really painful. Is this normal? Should I seek additional treatment or physical rehab for my foot or just wait it out?Asked 2 years ago

Is acupuncture good for feet pain?
I'm curious to know if there are specific pressure points in the feet that can be used in acupuncture to relieve chronic foot pain from plantar fasciitis. I've been going through physical therapy for pain relief but it's taking longer than expected and I was hoping I could benefit from some effective acupuncture.Asked 2 years ago
