Ankle pain upon standing up...
Hello all! Been a while since I've been on here, but alas, I have a question!
Back in July (July 17th, to be exact), I was doing something stupid and turned my ankle. It hurt for a bit afterward, but I don't like doctors and could still walk on it, so I didn't do anything, let alone visit the ER.
Fast forward to now and I'm still dealing with pain. Not constant pain in any way, but every time I bend down, when I stand up, I have this shooting pain on the bottom of my ankle bone. It's only when I am actively standing up, but if I don't put pressure on the ankle, rather, shift my weight to the left ankle, it's OK, but still twinges. If I try and stand up normally, it is a shooting pain.
What could this be? Is it time to visit the doctor? It's right under the pokey-outy bone (I'm in no way a medical student!) on my right ankle... and only when my weight is on it when standing up.
Thanks, guys!
