Ankle injury-lack insurance-2wks and numbness still cant walk on it wo crutches/boot
I competed in a triathlon two weeks ago and felt a "cramp" occur in the beginning of the run however found it manageble to finish the race smilling with running on the outside edge of my foot. I was wearing my vibram shoes on the sand for the run as the whole run was on sand.
At the end of the race I still couldn't walk on it... I could put balanced pressure on it but as far as taking a step and supporting my weight to walk I couldn't do it as it felt a sharp pain shoot up the left outside edge of my left foot on the underneath side and an elastic band snapping back kind of feeling in the top part of the ankle where the retinaculum is located. My x-rays showed normal however a second doc/friend took a look at it since it was a walk in clinic where I went and he thinks there are shadows on the x-rays that are questionable about more being there... I have a boot and crutches to help me walk however if I were to drop the crutches and do a full walk with the boot I still feel that pinching pain on the top of the ankle. It has been two weeks and the last few days I have noticed that my foot freezes and toes become tingly and a bit swollen when this occurs. It mostly happens when my leg is resting... elevated or not... I keep going back and forth because when it swells and feels like that I put it up then down after it goes away and continue repeating! I am able to flex my ankle and do circles and have been able to from the beginning. I can balance weight but cannot step forward and lift my heel off the floor.. barely wihtout feeling that immediate pain described earlier when trying to step... what injury could have occurred? And what should I do from here as I feel it has not gotten any better two weeks in and am now experiencing tingly, cold feeling in my foot from circulation etc... Heidi |

You may have done some injury that is not noticeable. Probably the best thing would be is to go to a Orthopedic. I don't know if it could be a pulled muscle or tendon though. You can try soaking it and taking vitamin D3 and Hylaronic Acid. You can buy Hylaronic Acid in the vitamin ailse at Wal Mart. Potassium (bananas and baked potatoes) might be helpful too. |
