Ugh it's been about six months and I've suddenly bothered to look into what's happening properly and it looks like I have this in both ankles.
I'm only in my 40s and I feel about 80 as I get stiff if I sit for more than 10 minutes.
I know what damaged them was a pair of flat sandals, plus always wearing converse so they were weak anyway.
I'm seeking a physio but can someone give me hope that it will eventually recover. I'm rushed off my feet with work, young children, house issues, older parents to support and I've just let it go on so long without any care and it's very bad now.
I'm worried I've damaged myself for life.
