Injury, ankle

[alexthecheese]

Hey guys, just wondered if I could get some advice from you regarding an injury I've had for some while.

Basically a few years ago I sprained my ankle particularly badly and ever since its not been quite right. Unfortunately, over the past couple of months it seems to have got worse and has been 'clicking' when I move about which has started to cause pain in the joint, particularly when it's cold.

I'm going to the doctors this week and see what can be done, but was wondering if any of you knew about anything that I could do in the meantime? I'm going to go and buy a support strap from somewhere today, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

It gets quite painful particularly when its cold so I'm getting a bit paranoid that later in life I'll be ridden with arthiritis in that area.

I guess this borders on medical advice which isn't allowed I'm afraid

Ah ok.

There's nothing really we can tell you. See your GP as planned, maybe try talking him into referring you if he doesn't believe it is serious.

Try and stay off it as much as possible is about the only advice we can give.
