Hi everyone,
I twisted my ankle on a run stepping on a rock 5 days ago. I felt a pop and some pain but was able to limp home. My ankle swelled right away and over the past few days I've had mild bruising and moderate swelling spread over about half of my foot.
I can walk and even run on it, although it hurts , especially in plantarflexion. Most of my pain is directly below as well as posterior to the lateral malleolus. I have also tenderness on the directly on the malleolus.
I was wondering if there's any reason I should go see a doctor? I'm worried about having a possible avulsion fracture after reading a few stories about that on here and also a peroneal tendon tear given the location of my pain but given that I can still walk on it, I don't know if it's that serious.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
