Ankle pain
5 days ago I hurt my ankle surfing by bending it in weridly. It is my left ankle and under the ankle bone there is one spot of acute pain if it is touched and in a small area around it. Paracetamol doe not help the pain and strapping and compression bandages don't supply enough support. The toes on this foot are cooler than my other foot. I can walk on it but it starts to throb however the range of motion down and to the side is less than my other foot. What should I do? Should I brace it?
