My ankle has been bugging me since about the beginning of July. I am sorta big for my age so I put alot of stress on my joints, and I am active. So yea... Anywho I cant really turn it to the left or right with out it shooting pain through my foot/ankle on the inside of my foot(the right side of my left foot)
I put an ace bandage around it but it still hurts, and i need to know what type a bandage i should use. or if yall know a good brand that makes braces that would fit my fat ankle and such
I dont know if i should go to a doctor or not its not swollen or anything..it just hurts!

Use an ice pack on it,keep using the bandage, keep off that foot for a bit and it might be a good idea to go to your doctor to get it checked. It is just to be on the safe side.

A magnetic ankle brace might give you some relief.
Arniflora's Arnica Gel is good for painful joints and muscles.
Wobenzym is used for sports injuries to promote healing
Vitaminc with bioflavinoids helps promote healing as well
Boswellia is an antiinflammaory herb that has been useful

Joint pain or stiffness of the joint may be caused by overexertion, injuries, arthritis, muscle pain,bursitis and other diseases. Depending on the cause of the joint pain, joints on both sides of the body and small or large joints may be affected. Some types of joint pains can be completely cured but for other types of joint pain (like pain caused by osteoarthritis), treatment will only reduce the pain.

Try using a tight bandage, ice it, and stay off of it. This happened to me (240 pounds, I'm 13 :D) and that worked fine

If you sprained it(likely) it can take several months to heal.
