Ankle Sprain: An ankle brace may provide stability for your ankle at work. If this problem is progressing, see your local Podiatrist or foot specialist. Occasionally, a tendon may be injured or even torn in conjunction with severe ankle sprains, and pain radiating up the leg may be an indicator of this type of injury. An MRI may be used to assist in evaluation of your problem.
