I have been sidelined with for the longest time in 4 years with an ankle injury I got while sparring. It has been almost 6 weeks now, and I am starting to think that it might not be just a sprain.
I was bouncing on the toes and going backwards when I rolled it pretty hard. It was really swollen and bruised for a couple of weeks. Now, it is still bigger then the other ankle, and i can not extend my toes without considerable pain. Running, kicks, squats...not happening.
Conviently there is a doctors office next to my dojo, and I just hobbled over there right after it happened, and he said it wasn't broken, and that it was just sprained. I never got Xrays or MRI.
Has anyone else sprained their ankle and if so how long until it was 100%. Should I go to a orthopaedic for follow up, or just wait longer?
Thanks.
