Evening all,

1 year ago i was playing football/soccer when i felt a slight pull on the inside of my right ankle, I hadn't twisted it and it wasn't too painful so i continued the game and iced it at the end. The following morning it was quite swollen around the inside of the rigt ankle bone and slightly painful to walk on.

The next 3 weeks of trying to play the pain got worse, mainly when i kicked the football with my laces, it didn't hurt to run though. But again the following morning it hurt to walk on and was quite swollen in the same area.

I decided to rest up for a few weeks before attempting to play again, a trip to my doctor was unhelpful as he diagnosed a sprain (even though i hadn't twisted it) and told me it would get better after 3 weeks. It didn't, but after 2 months i tried to play again, i could run on it but still it was very painful when kicking the ball.

It's painful when i point my foot forward and rotate it both ways. I have also started to get a slight numbness/pain in my knee too.

Any diagnosis would be very much appreciated
