A member asked:
Sudden ankle pain on same ankle i fractured the fibula and sprained a year ago. why would it suddenly be hurting again? the pain is on opposite side.

Reinjury vs flare: Any old injury can flare up. The integrity of the tissues, once compromised by prior injury, is subject to reinjury or flare. If pain persists, go see treating doc.
