Torn Ligiments?

(3 discussions)

Hi,About a week and a half ago I was playing basketball and I sprained my ankle. It went really far down and I heard a crack. I went to the hospital and I got a scan (which turned out negative, nothing broken) they suggested I get an air cast and I just took it off about 3 days ago. I can walk, just slight discomfort due to the cast.However the problem is running/jogging. I REALLY don’t like being on the bench and I love staying active so its hard for me to stay down and watch everyone play.Everytime I run however, I feel a jolting pain from the heel of my foot up to the front of my ankle to the lower area of my calf. I haven’t gone to the doctor yet, but people are telling me it is either a torn ligiment or a tendon. Which is it? And how long should I rest my ankle? Thank you in advance,-Richard

It hurts when I squeeze it or even move it…Any help? Thanks
