    Hi all,

    If someone could recommend a physio or someone of the sorts who specialises with foot/ankle injuries it would be much appreciated :)! My ordeal is explained below. In the past 3 months I've visited 2 doctors, 5 different physios, had 1 X-ray and then 2 mri scans on top of that! No exaggeration as well I'm afraid :(

    Fairly active and always had the occasional injury - anyways to cut a long story short while I was visiting the folks down home in Tralee, end of August, I decided to try a chiropractor also in Tralee who advertises the "fact" that he is Ireland's only qualified chiropractor with a degree in physiotherapy. So in I went to him with my tight back, that needed to be loosened out by massage or something similar(from my experience with physios this always worked) After he relieved the tension in my back he starting 'manipulating' certain parts of my body.

    After my upper body he moved down to my right ankle and done some quick jerk that resulted in a sharp pain that slowly diminished there and then. I saw a bit of reaction off him immediately after this but I thought nothing of it - idiot, but anyways afterwards at home it felt strange so I moved my ankle in a 360 rotation but it stiffens up both on top and underneath. I haven't run in two months with it because my knee and foot becomes very sore about then minutes into the run.

    It doesn't hurt me as I walk around only when I move it in kinda an over exaggerated fashion. It also hurts when I stretch. I've included photos just for completeness.

    I'm in the Kilcullen area but will travel. I tried a very renowned phsyio in Carlow few times but nothing.
    I honestly have done everything I've being told
    Rest, streches (honestly I have) and still nothing. One physio thinks its in my head, I wish it was!

    What I hope will result in this post is someone can recommend a medical professional who they know actually 'specialises' with foot injuries or is very good (ie physio, doctor, podiatry clinic... santa?). Thanks for the help :)

    From photos you can see my big toe curls underneath my second toe and also my second toe is elevated up. I've loosened the calves stretching everyday but still it remains.
