So, I sucked it up and went to the Urgent Care center in Huber because my ankle has steadily been getting worse since I sprained it and re-sprained it about a month and a half ago. I explained what happened and when/how it hurt. He poked at it once and asked if I'd injured it before. I explained that I had torn ligaments in it six years ago. He proceeded to tell me that the pain was due to the hot weather and not because I've sprained it since torn ligaments don't always heal all the way. If that's the case, why has it taken six years for this pain to return? An ankle brace won't help me, even though it's weak and collapses on me sometimes. So basically, there was no point in me going to see him 'cause the result is the same: my ankle hurts and it will keep hurting. $75 and a 2-week, $4 prescription of anti-inflammatories later, and I still don't know how to make it hurt less. Thank you, you stupid fuck. And people wonder why I don't go see a doctor about my migraines. *insert eye-roll here*
