See Ortho: You may have sustained an avulsion fracture or torn one of your talofibular ligaments. Please see an orthopedic surgeon.

HOW TREATED: Did you originally see a doctor, or just treat it yourself? If the latter, it's probably been undertreated, and now the problems you describe could last a long, long time; sometimes forever. You have to see a podiatrist or foot/ankle ortho to see if they can help you this late after the injury.
