Twisted ankle weeks ago now achilles hurts sometimes?
Twisted my ankle playing soccer about 4 weeks ago. Really large chunk of my foot and ankle swelled up a lot and turned purple.
Went to doctor 3 weeks after the injury, and found that nothing was broken.
Swelling is almost completely gone, but i find now if i point my toes upwards, it hurts my Achilles. Sometimes walking starts to strain it as well. Whats that about? what can i do to get better?

Takes forever to heal, you have maybe torn it a bit
Be very careful. I've rolled my right ankle too many times
Once playing soccer, each time it's chronically worse
Slowly exercise
Grab a door knob, then on that foot, push yourself up using your toes
Do a few reps daily, trying to increase the number,
while reducing the discomfort
If it aches, alternate warm water/epsom salt foot bath, with ice compress
That pulls the blood in and out. (wrap the ice in a towel)
It's agonizing and takes awhile to heal up
