I have a painful ankle injury at the moment, and wonder if the symptoms sound familiar to anyone.
I injured the ligaments on the outside of my left foot at the beginning of August, which resulted in me being non weight bearing for 3 weeks, followed by a month of physio. After a couple of short runs (1-2 miles) I decided to return to playing football, and after one match I noticed a lot of pain on the inside of my ankle, and all around the front of the joint between my leg and my foot. I wasn't kicked during the game, and have no bruising, although it is swollen.
I have had an x-ray, and have a follow-up appointment at the doctors tomorrow, but assume that if it was broken/fractured/chipped I would have had a phone call. Obviously I don't expect a diagnosis via a forum site.... I am hoping that I will get that from the doctor.... but I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar sounding injury, and if so what it was and more importantly how long did you have to rest it before getting back into training.....
Any advice would be gratefully received.
