ankle problems?

Question: ok well during a soccer game last fall i really screwed up my ankle and when i felt like i could walk it off, i couldn't. it took about 2 or 3 weeks for the pain to go away completely and i couldn't walk on it. now i can't do as much as i used to and i can't roll my ankle to stretch it out. should i go to a doctor to get it checked out or no?

Answers:
oooh, i do that all the time, and now my ankle is permanently screwed, so i advise you to only play lightly, and with a brace or wrap to keep from further injuring it. also stretch and turn your ankle every day for abotu 10 minutes so it doesnt get too stiff. if it keeps hurting for longer than 2 weeks, see your regular doctor or go to a knee, ankle, and foot specialty doctor. they can find out whats causing the pain to linger and give you the right treatment. best of luck to you and hope you keep playing soccer, as i still play soccer even with a messed up ankle. if you need any more advice you can email me at emoredskincow@yahoo.com

I would if I were you, just to make sure nothing's damaged. You should have given yourself lots and lots of rest with your sprained ankle (because that's what it was, I guess), but it's to late for that now...
