I Broke my ankle 3years ago on a trampoline. I went straight to the hospital but they said it was just a sprain and sent me off with crutches. I went to my physio a week later as I was still in major pain he referred me to an MRI as something wasn't right. The MRI shows that i had 2, 75% torn ligaments, a fracture in my ankle and I had practically snapped my growth plate in 2. (Pretty bad injury you could say) I was put in a cast for 8 weeks and after this it still wasn't healed so a moon boot for another 10 weeks. After this I still couldn't walk and I had been in major pain for 18weeks. I went for another MRI and nothing but one of the fractures to my ankle was healed and infact the 2 ligaments were now completely torn though. I was booked in for surgery which ment another 5weeks in a cast. After this and a shit load of rehab.. 2 years later my ankle is about 90% although it will never be fully healed. Big journey from when the hospital thought I was fine on day 1.

Thanks Doc I really needed to see that video, I injured my ankle running

Thank you for posting this video.

thank you....this video is really helpful

ankle brace work's pretty good thank you

Wow, i have been looking for this exact thing. sometimes can be really hard finding the correct medical term. thanks!

Very helpful! gave me confidence in restoring my ankle strength after injury. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for this rather informative video. Slipped in the snow about 2 months ago & need a stable ankle for my Appalachian Trail thru-hike in 2019. I will get that brace (had one as a teen) & will check out your site for some of those balance exercises. Thanks Doc!

I badly sprained my ankle my Freshman year of High school in track. My ankle went sideways and turned inwards... I still have major pain in my foot around that area.... I'm now a Junior and I'm having pain in that same area still to this day.... This happened two years ago and it still feels like how it felt when I sprained it. I quit track this year to avoid anymore pain and possibly making it worse... I'm lucky to say I didn't break my ankle at all....

I sprained my ankle when i was 15 yrs old, I'm 26 now but i still feel the pain sometimes when i play basketball with my friends.

Well that’s more helpful and optimistic than I’ve gotten in two years. Three podiatrist’s , no healing. I’ll check your website. Thank you

We’ll what happened when you break you medial malleolus with a slight displacement? And it doesn’t heal but also doesn’t have pain or mobility problems i just got out the cast , then I’m in a boot now , however I’ll in bed stretching it out and seems fine should I still do the surgery if it doesn’t heal and I want to stay active im young and very active . It’s a clean break and a nice chick taken off but will it hurt my stability? Thanks so much great video

I sprained my ankle years ago and I still experience pains randomly

I sprained my ankle close to a year ago as far as I know it has healed but when I turn it a certain way to check if it healed completely I can still feel pain around the ball of the ankle . I didn't wear a brace or see a doctor and I was exercising days and weeks afterwards . I twisted my ankle walking I could barely walk for a couple days and it was swollen . I hope I didn't cause any permanent damage to it . I just bought an ankle bracelet today and I am looking at some videos for rehabilitation I hope that maybe that ca. Help heal what didn't heal properly or whatever is still causing the pain . Thank you .

I sprained my ankle 6 years ago. I never recover it from it. I have already visited an orthopedic, physical therapist, and chiropractor. Nothing has work so far. I can still run 5 miles or so, but this usually causes my ankle up toward my knee to get swollen the next day.

Where do I find the exercices on the webpage, do you have a link?

I sprained mine 1week first day from first second I hold it in cold water for a few hours, didn’t have ice, second day afther 14hours had to walk, I was in my grandma vilige & had to help her gather the grapes & most time doing this I stood on a small chair, rested when I got home, 4th day I had to return to the city took a bus, and 3 days in a row had a 20min walk to my job as slow & carefull as posible but every time I returned from job the foot will be a bit swollen again in the ankle area it’s that normal it doesen’t seem to hurt, but I think I kind of got scared to walk normal, it’s still a bit purpule along the foot but under the ankle area, also it’s kind of hard to flex it left & right like I can do with my left one, hope it’s alright haven’t sprained my ankle from several years ago to bad I was way younger that time & didn’t realise you should rest afther, but 2 years ago I was still able to jump from down the floor directly on the table like when I was little, now that I have 2 days off hope I can rest & recover

I still feel minor ankle pain can I keep training on grass or just rest

I have this injury (going on about a year now). I wear a brace for running and just deal with the pain afterwards. I realize I am getting older (47) and being ex army...well i just have old army bones. I refuse to stop running and working out. I take aleve and just wear my brace daily. It stays somewhat swollen all the time. I just deal with it. It is still as hell in the morning and loosens up by mid morning.

Please Doctor I need help. I am on the JV basketball team for my high school and I was forced to end my season early because I kept having pain after every practice in both my ankles. I sprained my right ankle about 6 months ago and my left ankle 4 and a half months ago, I believe they were both grade 2 sprains. For some reason none of my ankles have properly healed yet. Do you think with proper rehab I will be able to recover from this injury? I’m trying to make the Varsity next year. I’m scared that my ankles will always be in pain and I will get arthritis.

Thank you for this video! Should we wear the ankle brace also during the night for 30 days? Thanks!

I lost a little bit of speed and jumping abilty,it hurts a little bit after 2,3 hours of playing basketball,is that normal,is it just weak,should i do exercises or rest,i sprained my ankle 2 months ago and i only streched my ligaments,what do you say doc

Hey .. I had an ankle sprain 1 month back . Unable to do plantar flexion.. what should I do now

I hurt my ankle few years from falling down stairs but didn’t get it looked the drs said I chipped the ankle bone as it showed up on the X-ray a couple of months bk but still got pain when walking and doing circle monements an still swells up aswell

My bad sprain turned into a fracture where the tendon tore a piece of my fibula bone off where it attached I'm 11 weeks and still doing rehab and wearing a brace but it is feeling a little better .

I recently went to see ortho and I was dx with a third degree ankle sprain. He has put me in a boot for 4 weeks without any active movement or rehab, isn't that going to make things worse??

2 months ago I sprained my ankle in basketball, but kept playing and just toughing it out and then I rolled the ankle one more time (felt a crackin' feeling) went to the docs and had an xray done, no fractures noted. I had the xray evaluated by multiple doctor friends and for sure there wasn't any fracture.I was given a brace to wear for a month and then to take it off and start physical therapy with the affected ankle (left ankle). 2 months after the sprain I still have pain and swelling on my ankle. Do I need to see a specialist or wear the brace another month?

Hi doctor, I would be very glad if you could answer my question and help me. I have sprained my ankle two years ago but still experience pain during dorsiflexion. I have a suspicion that it either may be caused by bone spurs and Im going to get an x ray soon but the last x ray about a year ago didnt show any spurs or that my talus bone is a bit dislocated after the injury and it presses on my tibia bone when I dorsiflex. Should I follow the steps you described in the video? I dont feel any instability thought and I can even play sports. Do you have any other advice? Thanks

Hello, I am recovering from a 5th Metatarsal Fracture, I've had 6 week of NWB. Had my 2nd Xray and my Doc. told me I was good to start walking in a supportive boot like hiking boots right from NWB to FWB and would be able to play Hockey again in a month (think he was being a bit optimistic) . I obviously couldn't go straight into FWB but ive been moving along fast, 1st day used small walking boot and one crutch, 2nd day I was walking FWB in just a walking boot with a just few pins of pain behind the ankle once in a while (using a hiking boot on the good foot to balance my height). Day 3 I started going up and down stairs pain free other then in my first few walking steps in the morning. Its now day 4 I am relatively pain free other then a prick around my ankle just a couple times a day and first steps in the morning. How long should I wear the walking boot for? I was planning on doing 6 days then move to hiking boots and a ankle brace. I am doing my ABC's and circles with my ankle 3 times daily along with plenty walking fallowed by equal time rest and elevation.

i have refered pain in my ankle from knee injury ...it feels sprained in the area you decribed in video though it was nver sprained..have you heard of "sinus tarsi syndrome"

Had a high ankle eversion sprain back in November 2016. Following the initial sprain I was in a walking cast for about 3 weeks. I did PT and completed it. However it is now almost April and I have severe swelling on the posterior side of my ankle under my outer ankle bone, and near my Achilles. Any ideas what might've happened?

I have a minor hairline fracture and ligament damaged, about a month ago as I was in cast for about 4weeks, I didn't moved for bout 1 week of cast but after that I slowly started(in the cast itself) but still not so much just little little, after 3 weeks pr so I was moving more and it was not paning much( in the cast) I also told to doc he said u can move slowly, got my cast removed a few days ago, my swelling is almost desolved, only a little left I dont feel much pain but I still do, I have problem and pain moving my ankle at curtain postures but I try angle rotating exercises to make it comfortable in moments in bed itself, it do not pain that much but I am still not able to move long distance or dance or exercise it feels little heavy and painful to do so and at the end of the day, after walking I feel pain, am i going to heal?

I sprained my ankle exactly like your showed in the video, its over 8 months now and still has inflammation and While I can walk properly but the extreme ends of the range of motion of the ankle are not achievable and cause pain, like sitting in squat position or climbing high stairs. After looking at the MRI the doctor suggested my ultrasound therapy for 20 days which didn't help at all. two days back I was given an injection of what they referred to as "Depo" might by a short form of some medicine in the ankle and right now it is inflammation more than before. Can you please help me out in it as I am from India and cannot possibly visit your clinic.

How about glass cutting my ankle and hit my artery.Had emergency surgery ..It healed now standing too long after 3 hours..Foot starts to hurt at work.its painful ..Is it from the injury?

Thank you for this video. I'm currently having this issue. I sprained my ankle last September, and it came back 3 weeks ago. It's still swollen with on and off pain. I'm not sure if this treatment is available where u am.

Thank you. My pcp did all kinds of xrays & found nothing. I hurt my foot so bad back when i was 17 & wasn't taken to er until that next day They had to reset my foot & nothing been the same since. I was in cask for longer then 3 months & no physical therapy. In bad situation then.. But i need to get my ankle pain under control it is effecting my excerises routine & not helping loose weight that i need. Bring this up to my pcp & see a specialist now. Thank you

I think with sprained ankles people think they are making a fuss if the seek medical help when it is "only a sprained ankle". I did the same when I did it last year...now six months down the line and still in pain. After a bit of research on the internet I am booked in to see a physiotherapist who is going to scan the ankle to see what is wrong. He said the problem with sprained ankles is people carry on as normal and don't treat it. When I did injury it I heard a crack but as I could walk (well limp) on it I thought it was ok. There was a lot of swelling and bruising but that is normal with a sprain. I was out walking my dog after a few days (very slowly!!) Now still in pain I hope I haven't left it too late.

My ankle been hurting for 2 years it started in 6th grade but it happened tom to time now I’m in 8th and it hurts everyday after a few steps and I don’t know what to do but it hurts around my ankle and a bit lower but I never really truly hurt my ankle in an activity what do I do

I completely ruptured my atfl in my left ankle on April 4th this year. My podiatrist put me in a walking boot for 4 weeks and then an ankle brace until now. I am a hospital nurse who works 12-hour shifts 3 times a week and I just returned to work last week. I'm 50 and my dr told me my atfl, at my age, will not grow back. Why would I not choose surgery to fix the ligament if I have a 20% chance of reinjury? I don't want to wear the brace the rest of my life. I am doing PT for the next 6 weeks but if a ligament is missing, why would I not want to fix that? I don't want to be older and regret not taking care of that. I am still having pain but am told this injury takes a long time to heal.

My ankle hurt years ago I gotten use to it

Sprained my very first ankle at 26 years old. Turned out to be an avulsion fracture, so was in a boot for 6 weeks, did PT, had some plantar fasciitis afterward, but that slowly went away. Feels like I never sprained it to this day. Sprained the opposite ankle a year later, they just told me to be in a boot for 2 weeks and I had a grade 2 tear in 3 ligaments. Xrays showed no fracture. Go back for another X-ray weeks later, turns out, I had an avulsion fracture, they didn’t tell me to be in a boot. 2 years later, it’s still incredibly terrible. Can’t walk for long or stand for long without soreness and stiffness. Surgeons said I dont need surgery based on my MRI, so I did my first PRP injection with regenexx a week ago. Praying this is all I need. This will be my third time doing PT on this ankle.

I sprained my ankle a few months back (about 3) from going to block a pass in soccer by stretching out my foot. Before it locked the ball hit it and pushed my ankle out away from me. I could put no weight on it for about a half hour then walked home. Played ok it after a week of resting and foot went mainly numb on the top and swelled but could still play competitively. Finally got an opinion and doc said sprain. Got an X-ray and they say those look good but doc wants surgery but an MRI to be sure. I can run but it’s annoying with some pain and swelling after. I’m assuming no fracture based on xrays. I have not worn a brace or anything and managed to play on it regardless. Physical therapy hurt it worse. What could this be?

I had very bad ankle strain I rolled my ankle on a tree root whilst power walking my whole foot blew up it’s been nearly a month now and all the black and blue bruising has gone however my ankle is still a bit swollen I’m wearing an ankle brace on it at the moment but still hurts to walk down stairs and certain positions hurt. I’m older at 60 and wondering will I ever be able to get back to my active life 😢

I fractured my ankle (lateral malleolus) last July. It did not require a surgery because the ankle bones were in alignment, and it healed well. I would already jog after about three months. By December my ankle was completely fine. Or so I thought. Last January I made a couple interval sprinting sessions and since then my ankle has been a mess. I cannot walk with it long distances and it always feels stiff and weak. It feels like something is wrong with my ankle, I just feel and sense it. I had an MRI in the late February and it revealed that I had a tear in Syndesmosis and Medial ligaments. And I had a partial split tear in my peroneal brevis tendon. My ortho thinks that it should not require a surgery though. Do you think I caused more damage to my ankle in January when I made those interval sprinting sessions? I have tried to rehab my ankle lately with many kinds of different programs, but my ankle just gets aggravated. Rest improves things somewhat, but once I start to walk and rehab more the stiffness, mild pain and feeling of "something not being right" in my ankle instantly returns. I'm getting a bit desperate with this situation. What should I do?

I've sprained my ankle a bunch of times but this last one was the worst, I was jumping off a knee high ledge when I rolled it skateboarding and it dislocated but popped back in place. I didn't rush to the hospital right away but after 2 months it still wasn't getting better so I went to the doctors and did xrays and MRI and it showed no breaks but they told me I had some torn ligaments and a bone bruise. I went through 6 weeks of physical therapy and that didn't do much to help. Here I am 6 months later and it still is sore as hell and doesn't seem to be getting any better, but unlike most people when they roll it and it hurts on the outside of the ankle my pain is on the inside of the ankle, I've lost range of motion and when I try to bend down into that further range of motion is when I feel pain like it's a tendon or ligament that is super tight or torn im not sure. Feels like it will never be the same :(

Ok so I don’t know what I have but my ankles and knees hurt during and after I run. I do HS track and every time I feel like my knees are doing all the work. I try using my leg muscles but then my ankles hurt. When we stretch we do pointer toes and flexed feet. You know that feeling where you point you’re toe and it’s about to crack? Yea it begins to hurt right when I point it and just put weight on it which I think causes my knees to feel like fragile glass or sum. What could it be??

Hi Dr. Huppin, thank you so much for all the info you have shared here and on your website. My ankle is still bothering me one and half year after an ankle sprain and after seeing a couple of doctors. Unfortunately I don't live in Seattle to see you, do you happen to know any good foot/ankle specialist in San Francisco/bay area to recommend? Thanks in advance.

I sprained my ankle March 22 got it checked and X-ray wasn’t a complete tear… I didn’t do any exercises really - but now I have plantar fasciitis on the same foot with aching muscles up in my calf and thigh to my bottom- also on the underside of my heel of my foot that I walk on not just under the arch … the ankle is only slightly swollen but not a lot the pain in primarily in the arch to the inner part of my foot not the outer … I’m in the U.K. do I need a chiropodist or physio … I’m not having to stop and rest my leg so wondering do I need complete rest and what treatment is this my ankle or arch? Thank you

I have rolled my right ankle probably about 25 times and my left only a few times, my right ankle gives me pain quite regularly, I have been to the hospital just a few times but all they do is x-ray it and send me home in a bandage. I remember the very first time I did it, I was about 7 years old and I jumped off some stairs from about the 5th one up, I landed heavily and rolled my right ankle, I was in unimaginable pain and for a 7-year-old, it was not nice, they x rayed it and put it in a bandage, since then it has not been the same, I loved playing football but had to give it up quite early as I kept twisting my ankle, especially without any strapping on it, now I'm feeling the consequences of playing a sport I loved when rolling my ankles was not a rare occasion, to say the least. ;(

I hope you can help me. I don't know if I ever had a sprained ankle before or how bad it was but the pain never goes away permanently. I take indomethacin or aceclofenac as prescribed by doctor and the pain goes away completely but it comes after 3 months or so. It's super intense and sometimes it spreads to my heels and side of the foot or sometimes it starts in the region slightly above my heels and then goes to my ankle. I've been having this for 4 years. I have done 15 days of physiotherapy which included Faraday bath and ultrasound. But after 4 months I'm here with this excruciating pain again!!! (I'm obese and I don't do any sport activities). Please give me some sort of guidance. I know the next step is mri because the X-ray didn't find anything. But that mri thing is quite expensive for me.

sprained my ankle 3 months ago, i went to the doctors 9 days after it had happened because i thought it was just going to heal on its own within a couple days. I got an x-ray, the x-ray showed just an old fracture that had happened years ago on the same ankle which is weird because i really don’t remember fracturing it before. I got an mri to see if it could have been something with my ligaments. The mri showed the same thing as the xray did. They sent me to the children’s hospital near me which really was no help, they just gave me a self pace pe note which my pe teacher still makes me do pe normally which is bs. My ankle still hurts the same and it hasn’t improved what so ever, if anything i feel as if it’s getting worse. I can walk on it fine with no excruciating pain but it hurts to do pretty much any thing else. It is always swollen and gets more and more swollen the more and more i walk and as the day goes on. I’m thinking i should go back to the doctors but i feel like they will say the same thing they said every other visit and not take me seriously. Any one know what could possibly be going on with me bc i have no clue lol these doctors are no help

I experienced a high ankle sprain about a month ago. I did RICE and took many anti-inflammatory medications right after the injury. For some reason I keep feeling soreness and some pain when doing certain movements near the top of the foot. I don't really have pain near the part of the ankle that was affected. What can be the cause of that?

Sir how to cure sinus tarsi syndrome

Sprained my ankle 3 years ago! Only hurt for about a week. About a year ago it began to hurt!!!! Now I can hardly walk. My doctor still has not put a brace or anything on my ankle, just therapy which made it hurt even worse!!! Since I began going to the dr, it now hurts 24/7. Time for a new dr.

i injured my ankle a year ago and it still hurts daily and the pain is worse now then when i first injured it. I got x-rays, an mri, and they sent me to an orthopedic surgeon at the children’s hopsital but they kind of just treated it like a normal sprain and said to do R.I.C.E. At this point i figured it was something more than just a sprain because it had already been around 3 months but i decided to trust the surgeon. 5 months later the pain started to get really intense so I went back to the doctors and they scheduled me for physical therapy. I did pt for about 4 months but it did nothing besides strengthen it a little bit but i still feel pain and it’s still swollen. I have very little range of motion and it hurts walking, running, or most activities and even gives me pain just sitting or laying down, especially when i am trying to sleep. I don’t know what I should do next because the pain continues to intensify and swelling has not gone down since I injured it a year ago

Back in like February I rolled my left ankle really hard and could hardly walk on it. The next couple days it still hurt to walk on but not as as bad. Since then it was fine until did something to it again playing basketball back in June. I was jumping up pretty high for the ball and when I landed I came down on my left foot first and then it just buckled when I hit the ground really hard. I when this happened I also heard a crunch sound. I had to sit out for like 5-10 mins and then I finished the game. Idek how I did. But later that night it really started hurting. So much so I woke up in my sleep because my ankle was on fire the way it was resting. I could hardly move it. And it was sore for a while. Since then I feel like my left ankle has been weakened. I notice that it rolls much more easily now I feel. It's not really a problem for me but I'm just wondering is this what's wrong with my ankle then? Thanks

Hello, I sprained my months about 5 months ago and now my ankle is pretty much healed. However, there is one little problem and it is that I feel that the ligaments of my ankle are rubbing against each other (not sure how to describe it) especially when I rotate my ankle. I can also feel and hear clicks when I rotate it. Is there something that I should be concerned about or should I just try strengthening my ankle?

I sprained my ankle 9 weeks ago, bad sprain. On day five went to the doctor, they took x rays and said no breaks but bad sprain and gave me a brace to wrap on my foot wearing it under my shoes for five weeks. Went back, swelling went down lots of the pain left but on going down steps still discomfort. Doc took more x rays and told me I didn't have to wear brace and put me in therapy for six-eight weeks for twice a week I go. Ankle got better but sometimes swells when I do lots of activities and is sore in the back and sides - is this normal? The therapist says I need balance exercise which we do and that it will get better. I have about three more weeks of therapy. I just don't know why it still swells up after a busy day. How long before it gets back to normal. I also have arthritis in my ankle. Thanks for any opinions on this.

I tore my nerve a year and a half ago and it's been swollen since. The pain has faded but I got 2 ankle sprains since then. I got an MRI a few weeks ago and there we no tears or fractures, so the doctor said it was fine. However, I do need surgery when I stop growing due to this inflammation. So I finished my physical therapy and waited the 6 weeks and I was clear to play basketball. I've played three times and the pain is coming back and getting worse. Should I rest for another week or two? Or will I always have this occasional pain? It's definitely bearable but the pain seems to be rising, from my ankle to shin to knee. What should I do? My basketball tryouts are in a month.

I hurt my ankle months ago and my job require me to do a lot of walking and putting pressure in my ankle should I call out and take a couple months off? Or should I try and work it out with going in each time

Sprained my ankle in June on my way to work. It's November and it still hurts sometimes when I move it in certain angles or when I sit on the ankle on the floor or something. Never went to get it checked out tho but I wonder if I should now

i sprained my ankle 3 days ago and my ankle feels unstable but it doesnt swell. What i mean of unstable is that when i jump with two legs my right leg (injured ankle) doesnt do anything. Is there a problem or am i just scared to land hard on my injured ankle?

Hello Doctor Huppin, I sprained my ankle 3 months ago but it's still painful. There's no swelling and I can walk without problems if I use Adidas ultra boost shoes but if i wear any other shoes, it pains and I can't run anymore! Any advise would be deeply appreciated.

what is the xrays don't show tear? what can be causing pain after fracture is healed?

I sprained my ankle now pain is reduced after 3 months but there is persistent pitting edema in feet which aggravates after prolonged standing or walking.

Question... i twisted my ankle the other day and it started feeling better but now I'm experiencing bruising but no swelling and now i have pain, is that good?

Hello, please help me. Sept 2nd 2017 I had a skateboarding accident and I sprained my ankle while I was pushing fast on my skateboard, I flew off and landed on my left foot's toes and my ankle caved in and I heard a huge pop and hit the floor, I went to an emergency center and after X-rays, they told me it was a mild sprain, it took about 5 days before I would put weight and walk around, about a month and a half after that, I twisted my ankle while it was still healing and i heard a pop when I twisted it and had to rest for around three days. And right now I wake up with it being very stiff, I pop it and stretch it out, after doing so though it hurts a little, I fear it will never go back to normal. What do you think?

I sprained my ankle years ago and it still appears swollen even though it doesn't hurt. Weird stuff

Hello doctor.....I severely sprained my ankle about 10 years ago and it's back with a full ache and tires easily to the point where I'm limping. Just wondering if it can get back to normal again or am I out of luck for the rest of my life?

I hurt my ankle Maybe 5 or 6 years ago It was raining had flip flops on and I slipped and it felt like my toe touched the back of my leg it toke a few seconds to get feeling back in my foot witch was a bad sprain but not all the time off an on I'll get this bad pain feels almost like a charley horse when I'm up doing daily activities or even setting down for me to release my pain I lay down and then I'm ok the pain feel like it's on top on my ankle the pain is just awful again it comes and goes it's not all the time but when it flames up it's painful.

I have pain in the inside it still hurts most times I sprain my ankle back in 2015.

Is there a reason why a sprain from years ago also causes the ankle to crack when rotating?

i sprained my ankle at a cross country meet and was permitted a week off from practice after the initial week i started to run again and my ankle occasionally bothered me but stopped after a while, but all of a sudden 2 weeks later after a 3mile race my ankle has started again to bother me so much that its interfering with me just walking, any advice?

I sprained my ankle about 4 years ago but didn't see a dr. about the pain until the 2nd year(thats when I found out) and I went to therapy and iced it and nothing help. Do I need a brace or something? for 2 years mt other ankle hurt because all the weight goes on that one as well.

Around maybe last month I hurt my ankle. I was running and I'm not sure if I stepped funny. But it starting hurting like a muscle spasm but a little worse and it last longer. Maybe by a minute. But after awhile the pain stopped. And ever since then my ankle is either not hurt or hurting. It's a pain on top of my foot and it's when I stretch it out.

I tore my ankle ligament about 4 to 5 years ago….Till now i get my ankle sprained while playing football and it hurts so bad and you are out for 1 to 2 weeks . Is there anything you can do to heal this problem fully??? Anyone pls…..

I sprained my ankle but my ankle doesn’t hurt anymore it’s my foot that hurts when I run for long period of times and I sometimes feel a lump under my foot that eventually goes away?

Hi, I fell off some steps about 4 weeks ago and have been either on crutches or using a boot on the affected ankle. The pain is still there a little but I want to know when I am able to stop using the boot for everyday activities such as walking around? It will be 4 weeks this Friday

dear sir July 18 2006 ( age is 18 )i made with small fractures for both legs foot & ankles & taken treatment for that & later started pain heavily after few months especially in nights i think it's unstable pains of ankle & foots since now also getting pain seriously any treatment for this ?

I sprained both the inside and outside of my ankle 3 months ago (it was also a high sprain) during soccer and had to wear a boot for 5 weeks. I still feel pain on the inside of my ankle, sometimes after just walking in the halls between classes. It is also still swollen, not too noticeably, but it's definitely there. I went to physical therapy for 2 months and got cleared to play sports again but after exercise it becomes very sore (sometimes for a few days) and I limp/have difficulty walking. Also, the inside of my ankle hurts sometimes even while I'm just sitting down and not doing anything. It can be either a sharp pain or soreness. Is this normal? And what do you recommend?

I sprained my two ankles like ugh god 15 some years ago and all I did was walk it out and even today wen I walk they hurt so how can it help me now!? Thanks

Exactly what kind of ankle brace

I once sprained my ankle 5 years ago, the first it was swollen but it was fully recovered within 2 weeks and I was able to do all kind of spots. But now after 5 years later I have again sprained my ankle and it's been more than 2 months and I still feels inflammation and difficulty to have full range of motion tho I am able to walk normal but I can't twist it like I was able to do it earlier. I don't know if it's permanent or will take time for complete recovery.

I sprained my ankle back in June I fell off a step on my porch and my ankle still hurts but it's not on the out side (even when sprained the main pain was on the inner side) I sprained my right ankle and the pain is on the left side I've been to an orthopedic (I think that's what it's called) and I finished every visit and X-rays and they said my ankle was fine but it still hurts I work on my feet and had to ask to have my hours cut from 4 10 hour shifts to 6 5 hour shifts and the only thing that did was cut my pay checks
