You should have a bone densitometry test done. It will test the strength of your bones. You could be getting early signs of osteoporosis. Esp. if you speed walk it puts alot of stress on your feet.
At work, when I fell, they looked at my shoes. They wrote in the accident report the codition of my shoes. Have you possibly speed walked so much that your grip on the shoes is actually causing the problem?
Equipment failure is a huge part of many accidents.
I hope you have accident insurance...I fell and got paid for the ER, 6 trips to the doc and 6 physical therapies.
You are going to have to stay off your ankle for a few months. sprains and hairline cracks won't heal if you keep reinjuring them. Do you have a walking shoe for sprained ankles? If not, get one or use crutches. Slow your life down for now.
ask your doctor for a bone scan or mri to check things out even further. look into an ankle brace. maybe you should check out physical thereapy to strengthen your ankle. make sure you have the right sneakers that can give you the support needed.
best of luck!
