Bill,
Below is a pic of my right ankle. I sprained it on September 25, 2006 during a pick up game of football. I ran a post pattern and made a abrupt "cut" and basically folded my ankle under me. I heard a audible "pop" and fell. About 4 hours later I went to the ER for x-rays and nothing was broken, however, my ortho confirmed 2 weeks later that I had stretched or possibly torn the calcaneofibular ligament or anterior talofibular ligament (I think...not sure exactly as conversation was months ago). He said it was a Type 2/3 sprain.

So fast forward to today (March 15). It has been 6 months since my injury and I still have pain when I invert the ankle. I have no problem walking or running...however, heavy pounding like plyo's kill me the next day upon awaking. Why am I still feeling pain? I am afraid to run "full speed" and cut, or trip for fear of re-aggravating it. And I don't like to be apprehansive when I play. if you need more info, ask away. Thanks in advance!

BTW...I really do have nice looking feet. DOn't let the pic fool ya.
