I was returning a serve in tennis. I leaped out to get to the ball and landed on the outside of my right foot. I heard a crunch or pop-like sound and I stumbled to catch my balance. It has been about 5 weeks since that has occurred.
I have pain near the navicular bone in my foot. The pain increases with activity and decreases with rest. I have iced, rested, compressed, and elevated it. Certain movements of the ankle cause shooting pain. A bit after activity it throbs and is a very nagging and aggravating pain. My ankle is limited in motion as I try to move it in a circle counter clockwise. I can move it fine clockwise however.
What kind of injury do you think that I am looking at here? I had an x-ray done after 4 weeks and it came back negative for fracture. I am just a little confused.
