Is this just a weird kind of sprain?!


Question: About a week ago I stretched and felt pain in my outer thigh immediately. It was killer that first night on the outter side of my shin, but then went away after the second night. Now I woke up today and the same outer area is hurting again. It doesn't hurt when I walk, but if I put just a little pressure on it when I touch my leg, it will hurt. Also If I try flexing my foot in either direction, it will hurt. Does this sound like a high ankle sprain or somethin else? Kinda weird, never had this happen before.

I can tell you almost 100% that it's not a high ankle sprain, in my understanding those take a whole lot of force. You may have pulled a muscle. Don't do those things that make it hurt! Put ice on it and see if that helps.
