I've been having some problems with my ankle recently and was hoping I could get some input from others who may have had similar issues. After riding quite a bit for the last two months, both of my ankles, one being more significant than the other, seem to be damaged. I have no problems walking and no problems running unless I had just recently aggravated it. It does, however, hurt at all times when I tweak it in almost any direction, the worst being when I roll it to the outside. Riding isn't even a problem unless I get ripped out of the boots or get stuck half way out which is by far the worst and ends the session. I suspect the initial damage was done riding and being in that stuck half way out of the boot situation multiple times with it compounding with every further instance. Having not gone to the doctor yet, I feel the pain on the top of my foot toward the outside (closer to the ankle rather than the toes) and I am guessing maybe some ligament damage. As far as recovering from this, I had let it go for a while because I could easily avoid the pain considering it wouldn't hurt under normal circumstances but I have just recently begun to ice it, hoping it would get better. Any info/help/suggestions?
