I sprained my ankle in January. I was in a boot for about two months, using crutches for two or three weeks of that. Since then I can walk and bear weight without issue, but I've noticed that the injured ankle is still slightly puffier than my other one, and it seems to become more prominent during 'episodes' where I am feeling pain. The pain mostly does not cause issues with walking, but it is extremely uncomfortable and can persist anywhere from minutes to hours. Ice pack, elevation, and massaging seem to help when I'm able to do so. It didn't concern me so much in the first four or five months, but it's July now and I am wondering if it's worth checking out again. Is it normal to still be dealing with pain this after so long?
