If you had an ankle injury which completely resolved and now you have a new onset of pain, this may or may not have anything to do with the original injury. Most ongoing ankle pains are inflammatory in nature and may respond to rest, anti-inflammatory agents and physiotherapy, others such as significant sinus tarsitis may require instillation of a corticosteroid. See your GP and request an exam, treatment and physio therapy. If not improving I would see a podiatrist or orthopaedist

I have an ankle injury that is 3 years old. Iv even had an operation on it. First thing first, how tight are you akillies tendons? You can test this by trying to touch your toes with your knees straight. If you cant then you need to strech them. you can do this by sitting on the edge of a seat and pulling your toes up with your kneee straight. it must pull at the back.
I say this because if your tendons are tight, you are not walking normally and putting alot of strain on your ankle. You would be walking toe heel, instead of the other way around.
I would also recommend NOT jogging for a while. Try the stretching for 2 months atleast. I can walk during that time. Then slowly get back into the jogging. If that doesnt work then do the doctor thing and xrays.

Depends on the type of injury.
When i was about 9 yrs old i was running across a field & unfortionatly stepped in a tree hole (a tree had been removed and the grass had grown over the hole) as i stepped in the hole i turned & faced the way i had come, so my foot was momentarily pointed in compleatly the wrong direction. My ankle swelled to the size of half a tennis ball. The hospital x-rayd it & said that nothing was broken & it was just spraind.
I am now 35 & still have problems, it periodolicly swells up and makes it impossable to put any weight on it. It feels like excrutiating tooth ache in the ankle, and all i can do when it flares up is sit & cry.
So as you can see sometimes injurys NEVER heal. :-(

YES!!!! My oldest was 26 months when the second child was born. He and I were best friends. It was HEARTBREAKING! To make matters worse, I had only recently stopped breastfeeding him (a few months prior) and he had never spent the night with Grandma and Grandpa before the big night. In retrospect, I would have had him spend a few "practice nights" with them to get them used to their house at nighttime, something he hadn't experienced. (Although they said he did fine, I think I would have been more soothed by this.) Once you're in labor, however, you really are going to have enough to think about and deal with, as long as your daughter is with someone you know will love her and take good care of her she will be great. I think leaving your oldest to have another sibling, in a way, is a sort of "initiation" into the life of being the parent of more than one child. You will soon realize, no longer will your parenting thoughts be preoccupied with just your first born. Relish the time you have with her, but know the times to come are wonderful to, and a sibling is an amazing gift. Having a baby is a monumental day to us mama's, but your daughter really will be fine for a couple of days without you, I'm sure she can visit you, and she may love the change of pace, like a vacation! It's still going to be hard. I know. When my son came to see me and his baby sis for the first time he was so intimidated by the hospital, and seeing me that way, he wouldn't come near me. Broke my heart. Tears were streaming down my face because I was just sure I traumatized him for life. Looking back on that video, it was sad, but so beautiful too. Finally he came to me, and laid on my chest, and all was well. A moment we got through together, a remembrance of how sweet it was just the two of us. He is now five, his sis almost three. They are partners in crime. They plan and plot and think I don't hear, and I pretend I don't :). It was so worth the barely 48 hours I was away to give him a gift like that. A best friend for life, if they want. They also have a one year old sister, and both survived... dare I say thrived!... when I was in the hospital birthing her. I'm pregnant again, and I still have the same thoughts sometimes, how are the kids going to manage without me?... They will. I know. Hope that helps!

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?

Find a chiropractor in your area who practices graston, art, or similar soft tissue techniques. Anyone who practices kinesio taping will know what to do also.
a GP is not going to help you. Heck I would like to see the ankle exam they perform.
Physiotherapy is going to be next to useless on a chronic ankle also. You need to have the scar tissue broken down and then rehab the injury the way it should have been done in the first place.
