bxroads,
Being an orthopedic nightmare, pain, not to be confused with ache, indicates there's something wrong. I have been TOLD by the numerous orthopedists I have seen and have cut me that when one senses pain the correct response is to immediately stop what one's doing that causes pain and assess. Never work through pain. You might cause a bad injury to become worse. My advice is to have an orthopedist examine you. And just like guns, not all orthopedists are equal. Research until you find the best available. And a good source is to ask other physicians who they have used to repair their injuries.
I am fortunate to live close to Loma Linda. I have had Dr. Chris Jobe perform four of my surgeries. He's chief of orthopedics at Loma Linda. He is a surgeon other physicians use. And he's an ourdoorsman. Better yet, he's Dr. Frank Jobe's son.
bxroads, I can't emphasize this enough. If you have ankle pain, see an orthopedist posthaste. A correct diagnosis might just keep you afield.
Buena Suerte,
R
