Well, I'm the same way ... obviously. *g* I don't think it was a disastrous decision on my part not to get it looked at -- it did eventually heal, and my foot works fine (there is still a bit of weakness in that ankle compared to the other one, 6 years later, but it certainly doesn't inhibit me from doing anything I want to do). So I'd say that as long as it's not, say, swelling up horribly and preventing you from walking at all, there's no need to worry too much. (I give the worst medical advice ever, probably.)
