Ankle Injury- can't figure out the issue - Any Advice
So about a month ago I was at the indoor tramps and ramp- snogression(shout out to that facility and Kevin). working on the tramps, I landed half on the tramp half on the spring (non padded) and felt a tweak/pain in my left ankle. I stopped jumping and sat down to see if it would swell or hurt, pain went away and I threw on my boots and hit the ramp. At the time it didn't hurt but when my boot came off it was a little painful. I didn't ice or anything afterwards as I only thought it was a light sprain. Woke up with no issues and no problems, about a week later it started to hurt a little thought nothing of it. Now it's been about a month and there still is tightness in the morning and running I get a dull pain. My ski boots are fine because they are super stiff, however I have no idea of what to do, and really don't feel like seeing a dr. although I know I should. has anyone had something similar to this? The pain is right behind my outer ankle joint.
Go get an xray. I did something similar skiing at the bird in November. Thought it was just a sprain but went in to the doc in a box since I had already hit my deductible. Got an xray and they didn't see anywhere that it was broken. The put me in a splint and I went home. In a few short days I could walk on it, although a little uncomfortably. I waited a little over two weeks(due to travel plans) before I decided to get a second opinion. Turns out that it was VERY broken and required surgery, in fact a piece of the cartilage ripped off my calcaneus and lodged itself in the fracture. Without surgery it never would have healed due to that piece of cartilage.
