And while it got better after a week, there are times when it hurts just as bad now, whenever I lean down to get something from the bottom cupboard and takes another week for the pain to stop. Just wondering if it is anything more than just a sprain or if there is any muscle strain or other problem that could mean I have to see a doctor about?

If it still bothers you a week at a time when you re-injure it then yes you should see the doc to be on the safe side. They will take x-rays and probably at least recommend a brace for a while and give you a brace to wear.

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

when there is an injury to any joint it opens up the door for good ol' arthritis to come knocking at your door! as you will noticed the weather will have a lot to do with your pain,your best bet is to take ibuprofen for the pain, heat works good also.
