Most likely you hurt it and you aren’t allowing it a proper amount of time to heal. It can take months.

Stay off it until it stops hurting and then wait a month before stressing it again.

Or you could see a real doctor.

I had a leg that constantly hurt, and I found out it was broken. From this experience, I would recommend you finding out if your ankle is somehow broken or hurt in a way you don’t realize. The good news, these things get better. But you have to take care of them.

You might have tendonitise. Now more than likely I have just spelled that wrong but anyway, I have tendonitise and it hurt really bad and one day I couldn’t even stand on it so if I were you I’d go to the doctor and see what’s wrong with it.

Your going to have to be more specific.
What kind of pain is it, needles, pulling, crushing?
How often are you on your foot?
Did you hit or twist?
How long has it hurt?
How bad is the pain?
Has it happened before?
Is it constant or on and off?
What part of your foot hurts?
Is it your dominant foot?
Is it swollen, red, or bruised?
Can you still walk on it?
Be more specific and I can help or just blow off the questions take some advil and in a couple years you might not be able to walk.

You foot either didn’t heal right or you didn’t give it enough time to heal. Are you in high school and playing high school football? If so just give your foot some rest because high school football isn’t really worth your foot being damaged for life.
