    Super late guys, but i am a massage therapist who also practices MMA consistently and plays basketball as more of a hobby and i will say i have had about 8-10 sprains on the SAME ankle, it is very stressful and demotivating especially when you are feeling at your peak in your respective sport to roll your ankle but i promise you all, calf raises, anterior tibialis raises, and really anything such as air squats etc. That improved my Overall flexibility seemed to be the key for me. Dont give up and dont be afraid to rehabilitate EVEN IF YOU FALL! Get up and as long as you dont feel any serious pain, PUSH YOURSELF!

      I rolled my ankle on uneven asphalt. Fell hard. Three-part shoulder fracture. Three years ago I twisted my ankle on uneven pavement sprained the heck out of my ankle. This time the injury is considerably more serious. I don’t want this to happen to me ever again. I’m looking for solutions. Over pronating is one culprit. Would a podiatrist help combined with PT? The orthodic I bought is probably making it worse. Damn.

    You’re right, physical therapy greatly helped me after a severe sprain. I was carrying a load down the stairs and missed the bottom step. My ankle was huge and I almost passed out from the shock of the fall. Took months to get better. Just sprained it again this week when it rolled on uneven flooring and threw me in the floor. I feel like I’m prone to sprains! It was the same ankle and I still had my boot to wear. I’m frustrated. My ankles are super bendy and flexible. I’m sick of sprains and I’ve only had 2! Lol

    I sprained my ankle skateboarding really badly I could not walk for a few days properly and it took a long time for it to feel normal again. I noticed after it was healed that it seemed some what larger than my non-injured ankle. I followed the RICE method of rest ice compress and elevate. I’ve been skating recently and I just rolled the same ankle today. I wouldn’t say I sprained it but I rolled it. It’s painful and I’m looking at methods to prevent this from happening again it’s very painful and upsetting because it sets me back from progressing and dialing in my tricks. As a side note it’s my front foot for skateboarding which sucks because it’s the exact motion I need to use in order to perform most tricks; that being a slight flick or bending of the ankle in order to make the board turn. All in all my experience has really sucked with this one particular ankle.

      Think of it as an order of things.
      1 - let it heal carefully. If you keep hurting it or worry about it
      2- go see a doctor to assess it
      3 - go see a PT. DEFINITIVE YES for you. Go see a Pt. We want to avoid surgery if possible. I’m not a doctor but an avid athlete who’s had plenty of injuries and it’s what the people you pay will say. Go see a doc, go to PT. If that doesn’t work, next is surgery.

  • @HenrikMyrhaug
    @HenrikMyrhaug Рік тому +2

    I sprained my right ankle a couple of weeks ago while playing volleyball, but luckily it wasn't very bad, and healed in less than a week. Today, I sprained my left ankle in a very similar way, but luckily it was even milder, and I expect it will heal in only a couple of days. I am starting to get worried though, since I have never sprained my ankles multiple times like this, despite doing sports like parkour and basketball, which require strong ankles.
    I wonder if my issue is with the shoes, since I feel like they are too thick, but rigid, causing me to land on my heel a lot. It seems like I am overcompensating by landing much more forward, which has caused me to roll each of my ankles forward once now.

    I sprained my ankle 4 times in a row, right after each other and it hurts but I deal well with it. I think I recover from pain pretty well. But I have a question. I had a severe fall a few years ago and when I fell, all I could see from the patch where I hurt myself was white stuff like tissue and it was barely bleeding, however it was deeper then all of my other cuts. After the incident, I got a bump after it had healed. Even after 3 years, it is still there. I’ve tried scar reducers but they didn’t really work. Is there any way to properly get rid of it, without surgery?

      I'm not a doctor but I had several severe sprains playing football. It only healed when I had another injury that forced me to rest for 3 months, then I did physical therapy.
      If it is so bad that it is unstable just walking then you probably need to rest it for much longer, then do more rehab before playing football. If you don't heal it completely then every time it is injured again it will get worse and you may need surgery. It might be good to consult with a podiatrist (ankle specialist) or sports ortho because a doctor telling you 1 week is ok seems risky.
