See below: These kinds of symptoms can only be adequately evaluated by your doctor in person through a physical examination. You should make an appointment.

Evaluation & PT: It is common to develop low back pain after injuring a foot or ankle because of the limp. I recommend seeing physician who specializes in back and musculoskeletal medicine (usually a physiatrist) for an evaluation. Physical therapy can usually offer effective treatment fo your back and ankle (if it is still bothering you).
