So I've been hampered with terrible ankle mobility since surgery to repair the end of my fib/tib with screws/plates after a nasty fracture a few years ago. The lack of mobility in itself doesn't really affect me much but the pain associated with it troubles me.
When I do the classic stretch keeping a flat heel, driving my knee in to the wall, I get a nasty pain across the top of my foot/ankle. The pain is similar to a ligament sprain but goes away as soon as I stop the stretch. The people I've seen have brushed it aside saying theres been a lot of trauma there, the pain is to be expected etc. But it feels like a ligament is actually getting squashed between bone/hardware.
I'm reluctant to see a specialist straight away purely for the money pit it could turn in to, but I'd be interested to hear anyone elses interpretation or similar experiences.... any clues as to what that might be?
Kinda vague, and yeah I should get a CT scan, but im a tight arse.
