Really weird ankle problem

[Nocturnal]

I want to call it a sprain but I'm not 100% certain it is nor do I even know what type of sprain.

I know it has to do with my ankle area.

If and when I have my knee go directly over my ankle whether if it's to bend down, or doing a sport like jiu-jitsu, I continuously injure what I believe to be the front of the ankle.

I hope that explaination is okay.

Anyhow, I keep reading about ankle sprains and none of it seems to pertain to my particular injury.

I am going to see my doctor on Tuesday, that's the next available appointment.

But in the mean time I am wondering if anyone here might shed a clue as to what I am experiencing?

Another way I can explain it is when the ankle is in dorsiflexion meaning the foot is going up towards the shin, I experience pain in the front ankle area.

This can happen when I am putting my injured foot down onto a stair as I walk down a set of stairs.

I notice it when I kneel down with my left knee and have my right knee up like taking a one knee down stance.

It can be quite a lot of thing - connective tissue damage, some form of tendinitis, etc. It doesn't quite sound like a sprained ankle. I had a pain like that during track because my first step out of the blocks always resulted in a pounding on that foot. I imagine it was impacted/damaged connective tissue. The doctor visit will hopefully be more enlightening.

Believe it or not that thing about really pounding on the first step out sounds a lot like what I am going through. Thanks for the insight.

No prob. The doctor's visit should be much more helpful. Best of luck - let us know how it goes.
