What Causes Fibula Pain After An Ankle Injury?
A week ago i slipped in my friends bathroom and rolled my ankle it stung a little right of hand. I just figured it was sprained, so i treated it as such. But last night and all day today I've barely been able to walk on my left foot. But its not my ankle that hurts its my fibula. And now as im putting heat on it, it is tingling from my toes to right under my femur. It hurt now more than ever, any idea's? I've only ever had shin stress fracture in marine corps boot camp 6 yrs ago.

Hi,
Putting heat is not a good idea. I think that is why you have all that pain. You should consider putting ice and take same anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. No weight bearing for three weeks or at least as pain permit. I recommend doing a x-ray and to be seen by a specialist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
