So I've been doing some research into the anatomy of the ankle lately, seeing that it's now probably time to learn such things. I must say the makeup of the ankle is far more complex that I've envisioned! The article I linked suggests that I've probably did what thousands of other did when they sprained their ankle, which is to hyper-turned my ankle inwards and injured the Anterior Talo-Fibular Ligament. Presently, when I use my fingers and poke at the foot around that area it still hurts, and of course the bony part of the outside of my ankle, corresponding to the base of the fibular, is still swollen.. sigh. Moreover, as much as I thought I can go without my painkillers, the dull pain that comes when the medicine wears off is getting on my nerves -- it causes me to walk with a limp. If I take the pills I can walk normally.. doh doh. Speaking of which, I better take my night dose now.

Hmm.. I've to stand corrected.. apparently the proper terms for the ankle movement side-to-side are eversion and inversion.
