I have rolled my ankle numerous times. Most often from landing on someone else's foot while playing basketball. Regardless, after rolling my ankle, I have always recovered within a couple of days but could barely walk the day that it happened. I also had people approach me with concern when it happened. We can't draw any conclusions yet. Rub some dirt on it.
On another note, in six years of football, I broke my thumb once (kept playing with a splint) and otherwise stayed healthy, never missing a start or leaving a game with injury. As a weakside linebacker, I don't even recall ever feeling any pain. Further, I never had my ankles taped. I felt that it slowed me down. With basketball, however, it seems that I was always getting hurt and I finally quit because I got tired of it happening to me. Being concussed from bouncing my head off of the floor was getting old. It was really weird that basketball was the sport that always wounded me. The worst sporting injury I ever endured was a pulled hamstring while running a sprint in track. It was extremely painful and it took a very long time to recover. That is where I learned the importance of stretching before ANY type of physical activity.
