@jessamyn ugh... soooo sorry. This same thing happened to me last year, and it took three x-rays for the doctors to figure out there was an actual "avulsion" fracture. They kept saying it was just a bad sprain. Eventually I found a doc who knew what they were talking about. Unfortunately, you may be in for lots of physical therapy, and it will not feel right for a long time. The key will be to keep up with the exercises – and you will hopefully get back all the mobility in the ankle. Having said that, I still feel the injury a year on :( You have my most deepest empathy.
