Any one had a bone bruise?
I recently came back to skating after being off for 10 weeks with an ankle sprain (tore 3 ligaments in my left ankle). Since I've come back Ii'm in new boots and breaking them in, they feel pretty good now. For context I wear ice flies and have done for 6+ years with no issues. However the last two weeks I've had pain in my right ankle at the top of my boot. It was mild at first but now it feels like my bone is going to snap in half every time I land a jump. It's making me scared to pull in and really throwing me off. Today when i took my skate off the pain was radiating down to my foot and made my foot feel all tingly and weird. I can do most things without too much pain except jumping.
My worry is that its some sort of bone contusion in my fibula possibly and I'm going to have to be off for another 10 weeks or something?? I was wondering if anyone ever had pain in this area and what it was for you? I know I should go to a doctor to find out but I don't want to over react as its only been two weeks and I live in the UK so don't want to rock up to A&E for anything non serious, and don't want to go to my GP because if they refer for a scan it will be another 10 weeks before you get an appointment.
