Thanks all.....5 yrs ago, I fell and thought it was a sprain. Got up, tested it out and I could bear weight, although it hurt. I walked carefully for a bit, sat a bit. I was at an orchestra rehearsal at church. After an hour, I noticed the swelling was pretty bad, so I decided to go home. Walked out to the car, drove home, walked in the house. Told hubby he needed to take me to ER to get it looked at (Sunday). He said he would, but since I could walk on it, it was just sprain. Walked to car, walked in ER. Nurse said if I could walk on it, it wasn't broken. Walked back to exam room. That nurse said it was pretty swollen. I didn't have to walk to radiology. Or back, either....they were amazed I had been walking at all. Spent 4 months in boot trying to get that one healed.
So, I'm getting a bit worried that this is such a bad sprain....it hurts when I press around the bones of the ankle on the lateral side...and those tendons. Sounds bad.
Gotta go get tile for the bathroom.
