Yeah, one of the first questions I get asked about the ankle is "how did you tear the ligament?" You'd think I would know, but I don't. Micro-tears over a period of years? Pressing deeper into neko-ashi dachi in karate, without realizing I fail at talar glide? That one time the nerve was twinging really badly in my ankle so I asked kniedzw to help me make the joint pop and maybe that was a really bad idea? All of the above?
And that is pretty close to a broken-leg injury, as such things go. But no, what happened was I had ankle pain for a little while, and then I had sensations that my foot was not as firmly attached as it should be, and then I went to a doctor -- some untold amount of time after the injury. So it goes.
