Term
-Matt was playing basketball 3 weeks ago when he did a lay-up and collided with his friends. He landed on his right foot along the 5th metatarsal, causing his weight to be put on his ankle. Matt noticed that his ankle promptly started to swell at the anterolateral aspect of his ankle. Matt has been applying ice and elevating his ankle for the rest of the day.
-Matt has noticed that his ankle aches a bit in the morning, and feels stiff for the first hours upon awakening. Matt's ankle sometimes bothers him at the end of the day if he has been standing on it for too long.
-Matt's ankle has recovered nicely (exept for this minor stiffness), so he felt he did not need to see an MD. Matt has been walking on it for the past 21/2 weeks without too much difficulty.
