Ankle Impingement: Sounds like you have a posterior impingement syndrome which is very common in ballet dancers. There is a way to distract the ankle with the knee bent but I would not advise you to do it yourself as further injury can result. I suggest physical therapy and an MRI to evaluate the extent of the injury.
