I fractured my fibula, tibia and 5th metatarsal over three years ago and it still bothers me. When I went to the emergency room the doctor told me I had a mild sprain and would be back to normal in a week. He recommended I see a bone specialist. 1 week later my injuries were determined and was told I'd be off my feet for the next year. After being in a cast for so long I developed scar tissue that made my ankle extremely stiff. I ended up with plantar fasciitis type a in the outside of my foot. It still bothers me even though I had surgery and several cortisone injections.
When I initially did it I knew something was wrong. I couldn't put any weight on it at all and any position other than elevated made it throb. It was easily the most pain I've ever felt.
Ankle injuries are no joke and can haunt you if you don't take care of them properly.
