Question: Could a 9 year old injury be causing me problems now
Back when i was 16 i sprained my ankle badly while playing basketball!. I couldn't play basketball anymore after it happened!. The doctor told me that i pulled one of my tendions and i had the choice of just leaving it alone and letting it heal on it's own in a couple of years or have the surgery so i could play basketball!. I chose to leave it alone!. That was 9 years ago and i havn't had a problem out of it since last night!. Last night my ankle became very stiff and hard to walk on, it started popping and swelled up!. I didn't do anything to it out of the ordinary and I havn't sprained since the injury!. It just started all of this out of the blue!. Could it be the old injury or could something else be causing this!? I have wrapped it in a ace bandage and applied ice!. is there anything else i should be doing, besides going to the doctor!? (My doctor does not have an opening for another 3 days!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like your doing everything right!. I know with myself I had an ankle injury a long time ago and my ankle really isn't as strong as my other!. Now thats just me!. So I think it could be possible for you as well!. Then again, it could be something new!. The doctor will know best!. I'm sorry your doctor can't see you for a couple of days!. Hang tough and good luck with your visit!. Feel better!Www@Answer-Health@Com
