I think my first question would be did your MG cause your leg/ankle/foot to have so much weakness that it went out from under you? Were you weak? If you are getting so bad that your muscles are "giving out," you need to call your neuro.
And pushing your MG is not a good idea!!! Especially in this heat. What if the next time you end up on the ground, you are not near anyone! Do you have a cell phone?
RICE: Rest, ice, compression, elevation. That's the mnemonic (knee-mawn-ick) doctor's use for this kind of thing.
However, ankle injuries can be VERY hard to heal. You really need to see a doctor. They may want to x-ray it and give you a particular type of "compression" like an air splint. If you don't treat an ankle injury properly, it can actually cause nerve damage. Back in 1986, someone who was drunk totaled my car. I had slammed on the brakes with my left ankle to try to avoid getting hit. All these years later, in spite of the intervention that included a walking cast, I have a peripheral neuropathy constantly in that ankle/foot. You really need to be seen!
I hope you'll take it easy.
