Sudden pain in ankle when theres been no injury?
Ok this is really strage to ask this but i have litrally just been sitting (crossed legged like you used to do at school admittadly) on my bed and have got up to go and do somwthing constructive with my day and can not bare waight on my ankle because it is so painfull (I nearlly fell to the floor when i tried) I thought that it might have been becasue it had just "fell asleep" when i was sitting crossed leged to i tried twisting it aound a bit, rubbing it and even walking on it trying to ignor the pain but i just couldn't it sort of just gve way underneath me and moving it made me yelp out because of the pain. I have not injured it at all in any way for a good few years i think and as far as i can see there is no swelling or brusing to the ankle or foot. It has been about fifteen to twnety minuites now since i tried to walk and i have been moving it around despite the pain to mke sure it wasn't just a "dead leg" but there seemes to be very little improvment to it if any and now it is throbbing all the time even when it is still. I am very overweight and i know that can sometimes have an effect on your ankles but i thought that was more over a long period of time rather then sudden onset pain. Any idea what could be happening or how i can make it stop please?
UPDATE: i had a hot bath and that seemed to help the pain in my ankle while i was in there but when i tried to get out and put weight on it the pain was truly terrable and the pain seems to be getting worse.
