Ankle Sprain: A high ankle sprain also known as a syndesmotic ligament injury, can contribute to chronic ankle instability and are more likely to result in recurrent ankle sprain and the formation of irregular bony formation. Syndesmosis sprains range from 1 to 11 percent of all ankle sprains, with a higher rate of injury occurring in contact sports. If you are having significant pain, see your doctor.

Have it evaluated.: Pain extending up the leg may signify a more serious injury. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
