Gymnastics foot injury?
I would definitely stop putting weight on it and get to us for an appointment. We can evaluate your foot and ankle, along with weight-bearing X-rays and consider ultrasound if needed or even an MRI to rule out soft tissue vs. structural injuries. I do have a suspicion that this injury is more involved than you think. I noticed you are age 16. If interested, please have your parent call the office to schedule an appointment. Thank you. Regards, Steven Selby Blanken, DPM, FACFAS, FAPWCA, DABFAS READ MORE
