Ankle injury
I professionally play cricket and once while bowling I felt severe pain around my ankle. It happened while I landed after a jump. It's been 3 months whenever I bowl while playing cricket this pain starts to bother me. It's a frequent but severe pain. I had x Ray's and all everything seems fine. I think that's a ligament tear around my ankle
Hi. Most common injury around the ankle is Anterior talofibular ligaments tear (ATFL). If treated immediately after the primary injury and immobilization done with a cast it has wonderful results. But if left alone and ignored then it will cause long term pain like in your case.
Next Steps
Get yourself clinically checked as an orthopedic surgeon will definitely know if it's a ligament tear or not. You can directly practo consult with me to discuss your problem in detail
