Ankle problem

irol

I'm not sure this is the right board for this but I can't find a general health/injury forum, so if someone can point me that way I'd be grateful..

Seven weeks ago I was playing football and went to block a shot. My foot was touching the ball when the other guy kicked it so the force went into my ankle and sent me flying.
I went through the RICE steps; it didn't swell too badly, didn't really bruise and there was no discolouration. Within a week I could walk around more or less ok and I thought it would only take a week or two more to fully clear up.
In general, there is no pain at all. It still hurts if I press the outside of the foot against the ground with some force, but this is a dull ache rather than a shooting pain. Still, seven weeks on, it tends to swell slighly by the end of the day.

What I find most worrying is that my ankle clicks if I turn my foot from side to side. I can feel the point where it clicks just below the ankle bone; it's as if there are two bones rubbing against each other. It doesn't hurt though so I'm not sure what's happening here.

I had hoped not to go to the physio but it seems that it's not going to heal itself. Has anyone had anything similar?

tbh

you really should go and see a doctor/physio about this man. Any advice you get here - which isn't allowed! - would be based on speculation and probably would do more harm than good.
