Hello,

As you have a foot injury and now difficulty in making any kind of normal movements like - plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, eversion and inversion I would advise you to take up an x-ray first or an MRI.

MRI is far better than x-ray to rule out any ligament injury. Usually, ankle ligament injuries are common in sports and get unnoticed at times which may, later on, shows its reaction.

Take up and MRI and following the ankle rehabilitation program - like balance board training should correct the muscle imbalance and improve the overall functions of the ankle joint.

Balance board training have an effective outcome score for most sports injury of the ankle.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
