My right ankle has a tendency to roll sideways. I have sprained and fractured it several times as a result. For me, it is a peice of bone that didn't heal property from an original injury. I was told once by a doctor that it had to do with a growth spurt at the same time as the healing and I have a gap, or am missing a peice of bone or something.
Anyway, I sympathize with your situation. An irregularity in my bones causes my problem, so I guess it's possible for you to. But because we have different irregularities, I can't say for sure.
Oh, yikes! I didn't know a growth spurt could mess up a healing bone. You'd think your body would know better than to stretch you out when you're hurt!
You have my sympathy as well. Sounds like you've got it worse than I do. Mine still twist and roll if I get too careless, but I've never broken anything from it. Not yet, anyway.
I don't even know if that is actually the reason. A ER doctor that was treating a fracture about 10 years ago told me that, and he was just guessing. He asked how old I was the first time i injured it, I said 12, and he said maybe I was going through a growth spurt and that was why. But thanks for your sympathy. Haven't had a fracture in almost 4 years knock on wood.
IIN for people with "lower ankles" to be clumsy/prone to trippig?
