In 2006 I fell down stairs and sprained my ankle-- torn ligaments too. Recently my ankle has swelled up again (no re-injury) and I have sharp pains across the top of my ankle when I flex my foot towards my body. I can walk on it with some pain and the swelling goes down at night or when elevated.
X-rays show no break in the tib or fib...
Should I treat it as a sprain and do I need to stay off of it?
Possible injuries?
- Talus dome fracture?
- Cartilage damage?
