Can anyone identify this ankle pain?!
Question: Can anyone identify this ankle pain?
about three months ago, i was playing in a soccer game and the other player tripped and fell on my ankle from a funny angle making me twist itt. i heard a pop and a rush of pain but when i went on the bench i felt like i was able to go back in the game, but my ankle felt unstable. i gave it a week off and i started playing on it but even till today my ankle has been extra sensitive like if i try to kick the ball my ankle will hurt a lot and also its still unstable so im not able to make sharp turns and cuts
Answers:
Ok this sounds like you may have had a strain/sprain of the ankle. A strain is to the muscle around the ankle and a sprain is to the ligaments of the ankle. A sprain will take longer to heal since. I would also recommend that you go to a chiropractor that specializes in extremity work. They should be able to help with stabilizing that muscle. In addition, until you are fully healed, I would recommend that you stabilize the ankle with tape.
I wish you the best
