Sitting here in agony so I thought I`d put my issue on here for advice.

I was racing go-karts in Aug 10 and some tt knocked me off going down the straight. I came off, head-on to a tyre wall with a hill behind it and went from 50mph to 0 in approx 10 inches.

Ended up in hospital for a week with internal injuries and a broken talus and tore ligaments on my left foot. Leg in a cast for 4mths and then bed bound for another 2-3.

That was 17 mths ago and my foot is still not right. I`m currently experiencing a lot of pain under my outside ankle joint, it`s very sore to touch and in the evenings I`m limping around the house, some nights to the point where I`m holding on to furniture and hopping around.

I know my Achilles tendon could do with a real good stretch and the rower in the gym is helping but is it normal to be in this much pain so many months after an accident?
