Ankle Injury..Possible Ligament damage

[fitnessfreak93]

I play alot of netball, and soccer at school, 5+ times a week. About 3 weeks ago, i was at netball training, i jumped, landed on my right foot hard, and as i landed i felt something...crack isnt the right word, but whatever it was it hurt ALOT. I decided to ignore it, thinking it was nothing...did RICE when i got home.BUT..
BUT since then i have run alot, more than 3 km every day almost, done school cross country(lots of hills) and continued playing soccer. I've been getting it strapped and restrapped every 3-4 days so i can keep playing on it, the strapping method is called a full ankle lock, it stops my ankle from moving much.
Every time i run my ankle hurts really bad, swells and swells, so i RICE it,
but now my shins have constant pain as well as my knee.

I talked to some people who said it could be damage to supporting ligaments?

Just wondering what opinions were before i go to the physio?

23/5- Played a quarter(10 mins) of netball last night, came off in agony.
Please dont just view the thread guys, i need your help even if its just uneducated opinions!!

Hi

The only thing you can do is go to the physio. They will assess it and treat it.
It probably is ligament damage although you should always get a sprained ankle checked out because tendon damage and minor fractures are common complications which can be missed.
Don't play any more sport on it and get to the physio asap!
