Subjective history

Alex

Hi. I went over on my right ankle playing five-a-side two days ago. It rolled inward when I landed awkwardly, and it swelled up pretty quickly on the outside. It's quite sore and stiff today. I've been limping around on it, but I'm really worried I've torn a major ligament and won't be able to run or play football again anytime soon.
