Two parts to my ankle(s) story:
Suffered mild grade 2 high ankle sprain (left foot) March 2008 but wasn't diagnosed til Sept 2008 (even though I had it looked at in March by a Sports Med). After October and November's physio, laser, acupuncture - little improvement so my Sports Med is having me see an Specialist this week. MRI revealed some very mild joint irritation.
Dec 26, 2008, someone tripped over my (right) foot while I was sitting cross-legged and much to my horror - same type of pain, just above the ankle. The pain is mild but very nagging and is the "high ankle sprain" type of pain. No bruising or swelling and I can walk on it, but the pain is there all the time.
Anyway, I don't want to make the same mistake I made all summer by not rehabilitating ASAP so I've been wearing my ankle brace since this happened and I'm booked in for physio later this week.
Does anyone have any success stories about healing from a HIGH ankle sprain?
Also has anyone heard of Prolotherapy?
My left ankle is still extremely bothersome and I'm now worried this right ankle is going to give me the same problem for months/years to come.
Thank you.
