Strange ankle injury

[Autumnwinterspringsummer]

I hurt my ankle early this week - I cant even remember how.

Since then, on and off I cant put weight on the back of my foot.

Yesterday evening something else happened and now I cant put the back of my foot down at all. It feels like my ankle needs to crack into place but I cant crack it. I can only walk on my toes with that one foot so am limping along. I have slight swelling but no bruise.

What kind of injury does this sound like?

I have this too. I put it down to a tendon or Achilles. I have no idea to this day what I did. It’s been over a year and whilst I can now walk fine on flats I still can’t wear heels.

Oh no @RudsyFarmer - how long was it before you could walk in flats again? And was there anything you did to help it when it happened?

it took weeks/months to walk normally again. I can remember I’d get up from a seated position and try and walk and be limping for the first five strides every time before I could walk it out. I remember it frightened me!

I didn’t seek medical assistance because I could walk it out. If it had been chronic I’d have sought someone out.

Things that helped me was stretching and rubbing Deep Heat into the area.
