Ok well about 3 years ago I jumped off a swing and landed on my side of my ankle. It really hurt but I never went to the doctor. It really hurt for about 1 year but I nevered bothered to go to the doctor, which now I see that that was a big mistake. Sometimes it just hurts at random times and whenever I hurt it alittle it really kills. Is there anything I can do BESIDES go to the doctor? What is it? Any good websites? Plz help!?!

You MAY have a badly healed hairline fracture. If it hurt for so long, that's where my money is.
Do you have a fear of doctors? If so, the bad news is you are going to have to see one - you need to have an x-ray & a website is not going to be able to do it!
You can do it - be brave & go. Good luck

It sounds like a severe strain or a fracture.
I would suggest going to a family doctor, since they tend to cost alot less. If you still feel as though you can't afford a doctor's visit, look into your local health department.
