I posted the other day about jacking my ankle the weekend before last...thought I just tweaked it a little. But 1 1/2 weeks after it hurts WORSE now, and swells a lot. I've been taking 800mg Motrin, Tumeric, and Triflex....as well as rotating heating pad and ice packs, which is how I've always self-treated sprains. It's the left ankle, outside right in front of the upper part of the joint...I have pain and swelling there. I've torn ligaments before but I don't remember the pain being this sharp...certain ways I step make it really hurt. When I raced..I'd have these odd little breaks now and then...find them a few weeks later and have to be casted. The exact spot of the pain feels more like it's in the ligament that attaches the tib-fib at the bottom....don't know the med. name for that one.(for the Daily Double? Anyone?) At times last week it was not bad at all. I fell backsliding out the back after a crap W2W warm up hop, and the front edge broke loose, then caught right before my face hit the water kinda thing, and it was a little blue the next day. After that many days....and my issues, what would it be most likely?
