I can't put my foot down because of the pain from the sprain
symptom
In January of last year, while warming up for soccer, he injured three ligaments due to wearing the wrong size shoes. He then suffered a series of injuries around his ankle, including an injury to the upper part of his ankle in February of this year. He had recovered from each injury and was able to move around, but two days before coming to the hospital, he suffered an inversion sprain while running on a track. When he came to the hospital, he was unable to put his foot down at all and could only stand on one leg.

Treatment and progress
Palpation of the fibula, which is closely related to the foot, revealed significant hardness. After applying acupuncture there, the patient was able to place the foot on the ground.
Second visit: Although the patient was feeling much better than last time, he still had pain when he put his foot down, so he used crutches when walking. There was still stiffness around the fibula, so acupuncture was administered to the same acupressure points as last time. The pain when he put his foot down was reduced, and he was able to walk a little without the crutches.
Third visit: The patient came to the clinic without crutches, as she was able to walk almost normally. However, she was afraid to put her full weight on the foot, and it was painful. In addition to the same acupressure points as in the first and second visits, acupuncture was also administered to acupressure points on the back. When she moved immediately afterwards, the pain when she put her weight on the foot almost disappeared, so the treatment was terminated.
Acupressure points used
Summary
By relieving the tension at the base of the fibula, the movement of the foot improved and the pain was reduced. Even if the pain is so severe that you cannot put your foot on the ground, if you can accurately identify the cause, the symptoms will be alleviated immediately.
