Football related ankle injury?

Football related ankle injury?
i hurt my ankle two years ago during a football game. it was twisted almost to the point of breaking, i had our trainer look at it and she said it wasn't broken. this year i had alot of problems with my ankle. when we would do sprints and other drills my ankle would start to burn and by the end of practice it would be all swollen up. i never went toa doctor because i was afriad of him pulling me from playing. now when ever it gets cold me ankle starts to hurt and when i move it around alot it makes poping and crackling noises. i was wondering if anyone has had this problem and what they did for it.

  1. You have got to go to the doctor or else you could ruin your football career FOREVER. You should have gone a while back. Go ASAP.

  2. Do you wear ankle supports or wrap it at all? I'm not sure what the burning is but try geting it wrapped and ice it after every practice, if this doesn't help then go to the orthopedic and get it checked out. It's better to sit out a couple of weeks instead of never playing to your full potential.

  3. In all honesty, I think you should get that checked. You may save yourself from getting taken out for now by not getting it checked, but this will hurt you in the long run. You might end up with a bad ankle in the future and you won't be able to play anymore.
