I had sprained my left ankle about a year and a half ago and i was in crutches for almost a month since i couldnt bear any weight on it at all and still to this day i feel pain and at times still looks swollen and a little bruised. Now about a month back i had fallen while snowboarding and it bent my knee inwards the pain at the time wasnt too bad but its worsening and also is making my ankle hurt more.
I have sprained my left ankle many times, and the pain felt like a sprain; however, the way the pain was caused in my right foot did not resemble any of the ways I had previously sprained my left ankle.
I took 2 weeks off to let it rest and then began my normal running routine. It was still in somewhat of pain, but I thought this was just part of the healing process. I ran a season in cross country and often found myself in the ice bath trying to heal the ankle.
What you describe is not uncommon for a badly sprained ankle as the after math. You can do range of motion exercises that will increase that, stretching also. It wouldn't hurt to get it checked out as you may have some tendon damage. Some people still elevate ankles after the fact and even wrap them to help. But it may be time to get a doctor to look at it and make sure you are on the right track. Glad it doesn't stop you from doing anything!
I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago by stepping on a rock while running. I sat in a chair for 3 days while applying RICE before borrowing a friends crutches & boot cast. Here it is 2 weeks later & the pain is still intense to the touch, my foot is still swollen, I can walk on it but w/ a major limp (I can't walk on it for long though)& now I'm starting to feel pain up the back of my ankle/lower calf. No, I haven't gone to see a Dr.
Last year on september, i sprained my ankle while i was doing my activities. I thought it was not that serious because it only hurt to walk on the first and second day. As the time passes by, i noticed that my sprained feet will hurt if i walk to long and i noticed this lump below my ankle. When I touched it, i felt like the lump was a bone sticking out because it was hard and not soft and if i apply pressure ,it will hurt...
There was a loud popping sound and the ankle immediately became very swollen and began to bruise. I sprained the right ankle a couple years ago and know there isn't a whole lot to be done for this type of injury. So I held off on going to the doctor (I don't have insurance) but when there was no improvement after a couple days I decided to go to the ER. The doctor there was very brief, but told me no break was shown on the x-ray.

I was recently diagnosed with a severe sprained ankle. I was playing basketball when I stepped on another players foot. My foot started to roll in, then he tried to remove his foot, and then it rolled out. I heard a loud crack and it instantly swelled up the size of a grapfruit. The swelling has gone down but there is a constant pain on the level of 3-4, sometimes less. Most importantly there is a burning pain directly on the outside of my ankle when I stand.
Aug 28, I jumped out of my husbands semi and sprained both sides of my ankle, ( I am used to spraining the right side of my ankle as I've been doing it since I was a kid) but this time I sprained the inside of my left ankle also. I still have a swollen ring around it, and anytime I move my ankle to the side or up or down (Mainly sideways) I have excruciating pain (Inside ankle). My pain level is 10 or higher, and I immediately have to take ibuprofen and sit down till the pain goes away.
For the past two months I've had several occasions at which I woke up with pain in my ankle. When that happens, it feels like I've badly sprained my ankle, even though I was fast asleep only seconds ago. This is often preceded by dreams in which a hurt my ankle - I assume this is my subconscious trying to make sense of the pain.
Ok today I was going down some steps and stepped off the side and twisted my ankle. (Same ankle I have severely sprained 2 other times) and it is swollen pretty bad and hurts like crazy . The problem/concern I'm having is I have less than 3 weeks till my due date and am not sure how this is going to work with going into labor and if I'll be ok having the baby naturally.
I sprained my left ankle 7 months ago. I walked the first day and from there I rested it. I still feel minor pain, I hope it's my imagination. I feel that my right ankle is stronger than my left. Is my left ankle weaker, and will I be able to get it back the way it used to be? I can still walk, run, etc. Its just I have the feeling it hurts in the muscle where I sprained it. I've been cracking my ankle constantly to ease the pain, but it doesn't do me any good.
Aa a thumb rule, even if you don’t have pain or swelling with a sprained ankle, treatment is crucial.Rest the ankle and take some anti-inflammatory analgesic like ibuprofen.Also apply warm compresses on the ankle.If the symptopms persist then pls consult an orthopedician as an x-ray or CT may be needed to rule out any fracture(even if hair line) and surrounding soft tissue injury.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Yes, there was an x-ray taken to determine how badly I'd sprained it as well as to confirm that it wasn't broken. There's still some slight swelling, but if the area is poked hard enough it acts like a bruise. Very sore.
the best person to see is a Podiatrists for foot/ankle pain. bad sprains can tear cartilage which make very painful. i've had my ankle scoped 3 times and a couple other major surgeries on the ankle. make an appt with a Podiatrists and ask him to have a MRI taken.
I fell on my ankle and it turned inward, right after I was in excruciating pain and was not able to put any weight on it. I went to an urgent care where an xray was ordered to make sure it wasn't broken. The doctor was quick and not thorough. It isn't broken just sprained (level 3 I think, she didn't say) but I believe the peroneal tendon is torn or sublaxed. Every time I move it upward or turn it, something pops right on the ankle bone where I've read the peroneal tendon is.
Two days ago I fell down my stairs.The top of my foot and both sides of my ankle are swollen and bruised.
Yesterday I needed crutches to get around. Today I can limp around, however, it still hurts like crazy. I don't have any medical insurance. How can I tell if it's broken or sprained. I don't have or want to spend the money to see a doctor only to get sent home with a sprained foot/ankle. Please help. I have a 2 yr old that doesnt sit down for anything. I need this to go away.
Exactly 2 weeks ago, I sprained my left ankle (rolled, stepped on someone's foot) during basketball. It was immediately iced and wrapped in an ankle brace. There was no bruising the next day and I could walk on it with a limp the day after that.
I have been rehabbing it in the last week and I could jog and even sprint forward. However, there is some pain in lateral movement and pain at the bottom of my foot when i cut (in basketball).
The next day I woke up to a sort of burning sensation pain over the sprained ankle. When I reached for my crutches and got out of bed, the pain immediately hit me. It felt like there was so much weight on my ankle as if my ankle was burning. I rested it the whole day.
The next day, today, I awoke to the same feeling but kind of noticed that there was a small dull red area around my ankle.
In 2005 i was pregnant with my daughter and was trying to go up a concrete step and didnt put my foot right and i slipped and sprained my ankle and also hit the edge of the concrete with my shin part of my leg ..went to the hospital and all they treated me for was a sprained ankle and said nothing bout my leg ..
