Ankle Sprain
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have managed to hurt my ankle again but i have no idea how or when i did this, my ankle has been hurting since Tuesday this week, i dont wear high heals nor have i hurt it recently.
Years ago i have managed to hurt both ankles by falling into pot holes in a haulage yard! since then i have had numerous problems with my ankles, they constantly ache if i am on my feet for long lengths of time, i am currently wearing a supporon my left foot up to above my ankle which is helping but it is still throbbing and painful. Any advice?

I highly recommend you to set an appointment with a specialist. Don’t let these “minor” issues sub estimate the bigger picture.
In many cases, minor sprains not properly healed had evolved to mayor diagnosis cases, which could need surgery; if not detected in their early stages.
I will just give you examples: Ankle fusions, ankle replacements, ankle reconstruction and a long ETC.
My advice is: Make sure that you go to a foot specialist, and let him come with an evaluation, is better to prevent than heal.
I have a friend that did sprained (or so he thought) his ankle, now he is facing some mayor consequences due to his negligence on the “case”.

Try to avoid any over use of the affected area: Running, jumping, walking for prolonged periods. Minimize the use of ankle affected (at least till you see a specialist or pain goes away).
By reading your post it seems you been having issues since you first managed to “hurt” the area affected, so yes; I would suggest (again) to see a specialist, your cartilage could be in risk.
I am not trying to scare you; I just want you to understand that you are jeopardizing your ankle, I do hope is nothing big and that I am wrong.
