Help! do you think i tore a ligament or strained a muscle???!
Question: well i play rugby and for the past 2 weeks i havent been able to walk or run without severe pain near my ankle.(its not my ankle though its a muscle near it.) and sometimes it even hurts when im not even putting weight on it. and lucky me today i twisted the same spot and it is killing me right now. it has some bruising and swelling and i was wondering if i could have done something to a muscle.

Go to a doctor and get diagnosed, it can be any number of things, I have a massage therapist in the room with me,but he needs alot more information from you before he can get an accurate picture of what is actually wrong, however, this will probably help you, RICE, Rest, Ice, Elevation and Compression. You need to give your injury time to heal, buy continuously playing rugby your are re-aggravating the injury over and over again, consequently making it worse over time.
Good Luck

You probably have soft tissue damage,I would put ice on the area until the swelling went down.You should go and see a doctor,get some pain meds and maybe some x-rays.Rest it and don't over use that leg.You could have some ligaments tore or an injured muscle.
