What could i have hurt?

Question

I jumped off of a rock one night and instead of landing on my feet i landed on the toes of one foot. I hyperextended my ankle outward, and i heard a pop sound. I was all right to walk, so i did, but my ankle hurt for a while, like a month and a half, but not too bad unless i twisted my foot inward. However, even a few weeks after my ankle stopped hurting so much, if i accidentally sat on it, like on my knees with my feet underneath me or something, it started hurting really bady. Then i did the same thing to my other foot but much less when i slipped in a hole on the grass. That foot continued to hurt if i sat cross legged for too long, or fell and either landed with my foot flat on its front or tried to get up using leverage from a similar position. It hurt like around my ankle, like right below it. I'm just curious, does anyone know what i could have done to it?

this was way back in the spring, i just wondered what it might be, and if there's any thing bad about doing absolutely nothing (including ice) about it...lol

Answer 1

I would agree that it is most likely tendon or ligament damage, and that medical treatment is the surest way to know for sure and to make sure it's properly taken care of.

Ice is always good (reducing swelling is a must!), but a doctor's input would be something I'd insist on if it were me.

Answer 2

You have a bone or tendon injury. Go see a doctor for x-rays and good luck.

Answer 3

tendon- that needs medical attention and isolation/ elavation.

good luck
