If: You had a sprain the brace could be pushing fluid toward the toes or could be brace is to tight for you . Did you have any other injuries?

Tendon injury: You may have injured your flexor tendon or the small bone behind the ankle assuming you do not have gout and then if you do it could be unrelated to your strengthening.
