Yes, previously broken bones will ache...but usually once a bone heals, it's stronger than ever...has the same bone broken more than once in your foot???

Nope, not nuts. Even if it isn't actually the ankle crying for attention, that you can contain such feelings to a part of your body that way, well, means you can also free it once you address it. (But are you sure it isn't just the way broken ankles behave?) They have ankle supports that help (I have two myself. ) make sure it doesn't cut off circulation though. What color do you think your ankle prefers?
