I landed on top of a small hurdle during a circuit class 10 weeks ago and my foot went over to one side. At first I did think it was broken it swelled up almost striaght away. My whole foot,ankle and part of my leg was very swollen and had heavy bruising for a couple of weeks. I had an X-ray but was told it was just a sprained ankle. I was unable to walk properly for a few weeks. 10 weeks on I still have a lot of pain and my ankle and part of my foot still often becomes swollen and hurts to touch. I am doing the excercises that the hospital gave me to do, but this doesn't seemed to have helped and I still have to take pain killers especially of a night as even the quilt resting on my ankle still keeps me awake. I don't know what to do for the best do I rest it more am I just being impatient as I did think it may feel abit better by now or do I go back to gentle excerises as I am greatly missing this and the pounds are piling on?
