Near the beginning of November I slipped stepping off my mum's gravelled drive and on to the pavement (few lose stones on the pavement). My right foot slipped out and also twisted funny (I can't quite remember how). For a couple of weeks after I had pain in my ankle - felt like a deep boney pain. In the ball of the ankle and also to the top of my foot. Very odd type of pain that shifted sometimes from the outside of the ankle to the top right of my foot and sometimes top left but always in and around the ankle area. Anyway I am was very busy moving house and working so bought myself a foot support took painkillers and carried on.
After a few weeks the pain faded and all was fine. Until last week when exactly the same pain returned but gradually getting to a point where it feels worse than before. Sometimes it has kept me up at night - sometimes a combination of paracetamol and ibroprofen helps- other times it doesn't touch it.
I am on my feet most of the day (t.a in a reception class). My foot was quite bad all morning despite taking painkillers but eased off a bit in the afternoon. Lying in bed now and the pain is awful again.
Any ideas what I could have done- or excersies to help it. Thanx :-)
