About a year and a half I hurt my ankle
snowboarding. The pain was very severe
but went away after a few weeks. I then
re-injured it about 6 months after that,
and again the pain went away soon after.
Just recently I hurt it again while
rollerblading and the pain is very sharp.
It is a strange pain, where it only
really hurts when pressure is applied to
it. Anything as small as a sock brushing
against it hurts a lot. The pain is
located right on the bone that sticks out
on the ankle (not sure of the medical
term) and a little under that bone. Does
anyone know what might be wrong and should
I be going to see a podiatrist to get it
treated? I really want to be able to
snowboard and rollerblade again. Thanks
in advance.

Hi there! Very sorry to hear of your
problems! I live with similar situations
24/7 I was dx'd with rsd almost 2 years
ago aand it is one nasty monster, you
might look it up on the computer
rsd(reflex sympathetic dystrophy). I am
no Dr. But if you are diagnosed with this
my suggestion to you is to keep
functioning the best you can, get to a
pain specialist asap and and get some
nerve blocks done as they waited to late
for me to be diagnosed and mine is
spreading, these are just my opinions.
Good luck to you!
Keep us posted!
Sincerely,
sandy

Well whenever you get an ankle injury your
ankle will be weak from then on. After
the first injury you are suseptible to
more injuries that can be worse than the
first one. From what it sounds like, you
injured your ankle and did not all it to
heal properly and just went right back
into it. An ankle injury requires a lot
of healing time even after the pain goes
away. Ankle injuries take patience to
get through. The pain you are going
through sounds very severe and you want to
get that looked at as soon as possible
because I have never heard of ankle
injuring that hurts from pressure of a
sock. Hope things get better.
