![Why is My Sprained Ankle Still Painful & Swollen? [Causes & Treatment]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/M-ibqxyqEtM/mqdefault.jpg)
but why nba player stephen curry wearing ankle brace ?
Oh dear, i just bought one, just delivered by the mail man.And By the time i wear it, i found this video..oooorrggh.
Exact same situation tonight but I need the brace my only other alternative is wrapping it and my ankle is really not stable enough for that at the moment
what about just wearing an ankle brace just during basketball? and not wearing it any other time
i completely shattered and dislocated that area very bad and i roll it constantly if i dont wear one, but if i can wear one i run very hard and compete at a high level in track now, and without it i feel extreme pain and suffer constant sprains and rolls.
i have gona through a year plus of physical therapy and even though it gains strength, it will always get rolled if i dont wear one due to the multiple surgeries and the severity of the injury. I was told i would not be an athlete again at one point but i am still here and at a possible chance of going to states for track a year and a half later
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Despite your history, I still believe you could strengthen and rehabilitate your ankle. But, you have a more medical situation so I would defer to your doctors.
What about for preventative measures not to heal an existing injury?
Yeah. I sprained my ankle BAD, and 4 months later (after some PT), I started running with a brace. And within a week of running with the brace, I had pain in my knee and lower back that I never had before. Took the brace off (running carefully) and no more knee/back pain.
Glad to hear it!
I wear ankle braces not because it's my choice as I hate them, but because I have to since my ankles aren't stable. I have double jointed ankles and I am really unstable and fall down a lot if walking without the braces. So unless there is the way to make the ankles stable as normal exercises sometimes are just not enough, I'm happy to wear them because I can even run that way and go for long walks without tripping over the floor. Without them I can barely walk normally and become tired really fast. Some people need to have that added stability. But for those with normal ankles, yeah, then probably it is harmful.
I was told by my PT that I should wear braces when hiking because my ankle ligaments are so overstretched from past and recent injuries. Useful reminder, though, about being careful with the knees. I recently bought tri-lock braces which provide stability and yet have some flexibility to them, so not quite as restrictive as the lace up braces.
having some sort of bandage like the stretchy tape you still have control over mobilization in your ankle and that's when I feel its okay.
i sprained my ankle may 8 2015 and it still hurts me when i play basketball what would you recommend ? i was going to buy some ankle weights so it can get stronger
Thanks man that actually makes sense for why I've been have sow much pain in my foot because I've sprained my ankle like 4-5 times already and I let it heal but after that I put and ankle brace and go back skating because I use to always get pain after it heals if I move it for like a few hours thanks
You gave a good argument for ankle rehab, though didn't mention arthritis. I've found that when I'm having a flareup in either ankle then activity is incredibly painful and the joints are weaker than when in remission. Flipside is that the flareup goes away more quickly if I continue normal activity or even increase activity. When I use ankle braces (and I've learned that if I brace one ankle then I need to brace both to avoid over-working the "good" one and finding that one flaring up as the other gets better), I'm more able to continue activity with less pain and am less likely to end up with a sprain in addition to the arthritis.
I am not sure what the recommendation is when it's not an injury rehab issue but an arthritis/inflammation issue?
So I have re occurring ankle sprains. I've been dealing with it for about 7 years now. I didn't tape it and only wore a brace for the times I was on crutches. I went to therapy and it helped with pain and my ankle did get a little stronger, but I would roll it all the time. Then I started tapping it during games and practices along with do my exercises from when I use to go to therapy. Now my ankle is so much stronger and didn't roll it until I stopped tapping it. I honestly believe it's a good idea to tape ankles as long as you're working it and doing therapy
I apparently have hyper-lax ligaments in my feet and ankles..arthritis is compounding the issue. I will use the brace only when stability is crucial and continue to work on my ankle and foot strength,range of motion, and flexibility. I am a farmer and need to avoid injuring the joint further and stabilizing my balance. Apparently muscle strength is all that's held my "bag-o-bones" feet together all these years...
This makes SO much sense...thank you so much. Am going to immediately remove the compression sleeve I have been using to try and help with peroneal tendonitis (not much use anyway...) and will just continue doing my strengthening exercises. Great video.
I have been wearing the Ultra Breg braces on both ankles that allows up and down movement but little side to side movement, for about 12 years playing basketball. No issues in the knee and back. I sprained my ankle 10 times each time before the braces. I supinate (run on the outside of my feet) so the braces keep me from rolling. I also wear a custom orthodic to help me not supinate and keep the knee and back from locking up. It can work.
Thx Scott, i was about to buy it because of my hairline fracture on talus.Today the doctor took out the cast after 1 month and was thinking to continue with an Ankle Braces :) your video helped and its true
What about compression ankle sleeves? Are you against those as well?
Im just using one for one weekend to play in an important ball tourney and then finish the rehab in the next 2 weeks
If you still review comments, what if my mri reads like this?
Impression:
Mild/moderate inframalleolar posterior tibial
tendinosis with mild tendon enlargement and intra tendon mucoid degeneration.
Moderate-sized type 2 accessory os naviculare
E with MRI findings suggesting degeneration and instability.
Mild Achilles tendinosis without significant
tendon enlargement or tear. Calcaneal spurring at the Achilles tenoosseous insertion
with normal marrow signal. There is intra tendon ossification just above the
calcaneal spur laterally, measuring 7.4 x 2.6 x 6 mm.
Mild chronic/remote proximal plantar
fasciitis without tear.
Atrophy and fatty infiltration of the
abductor hallucis and to lesser degree, the abductor digiti minimi muscle, possibly
related to neuropathy.
Mild osteoarthritis of the tibiotalar joint
and more prominently throughout the midfoot is described above. Large area of subcortical marrow edema with
multiple small subcortical cysts. Smaller area of overlying intermediate to high-grade
chondral fissuring along the mid to anteromedial talar dome and shoulder,
measuring approximately 5.5 mm x 1.6 cm. No loose, stable, or displaced osteochondral
fracture. Cystic change and reactive marrow edema with subtle overlying
chondromalacia and to lesser extent is noted along the opposing medial tibial
plafond. Small marginal osteophyte formation of the anterior tibial plafond.
Low-grade sprain of the anterior talofibular
ligament. The deltoid ligament is intact. Mild partial tearing of the spring
ligament, not significantly scarred down.
Longitudinal peroneus brevis split tear is a
tendon traverses the distal fibula and extends inframalleolar just distal
to the peroneal tubercle. The tendon
reconstitutes to normal caliber at the teno- osseous insertion.
Really helpful video. Gained some new knowledge about how ankle can affect the knee if not if isn't treated properly. Thanks
If I shouldn't be using a brace then
Please put a video for ankle rehab and strengthening
Because i sprained right ligament twice and had hair line fracture
It does cause issue by wearing one. It caused my Plantar Fasciitis to heal much quicker than the Doctor expected.... yes it was recommended by my Ortho Doctor because I am a Mechanic that is on my feet a lot during the day.
would you recommend wearing an akle brace just for a game of basketball instead of relying on the brace for everyday use
Did you even watch the video? The answer is no lol
Wearing an ankle brace for sports is not something I recommend if at all possible. It restricts natural movement and puts the knees at risk for a serious injury.
I sprained my ankle really bad a couple years ago. I'm a competitive dancer and competitive horseback rider. I don't wear anything when I ride but if I don't wear at least tape or something when I dance, my ankle will roll and twist many times... I
I’m a dancer and i have weak ankles so i got ankles support for Christmas, i get pain in my ankle sometimes so I don’t know if i should use it while the pain disappears (it always does but while i have it it doesn’t let me move properly) or while I’m at dance class or while i do my normal workout to prevent getting injured by that so i can give my 100% at dance
Hi Dr. Malin, I sprained my ankles (both of them) several times while playing soccer. Finally, I have decided to use braces to prevent the injury from happening again. I only wear them during the games, usually a couple of times a week for about 1.5 hours. I was interested to know whether you still discourage their use in this case. I understand the risk of shifting the wrong movements to the knees, but in terms of damage, that's far more serious, but in terms of chances, isn't that better? I mean, I am so afraid now to sprain my ankles that I am even considering quitting soccer.
Thanks a lot.
Would an ankle brace be acceptable if I only wore it during sports and then performed ankle rehab daily until my ankle was stable and strong enough for the brace not to be worn?
I tore a ligament when falling down the stairs at the weekend and my doctor told me to wear a brace for four weeks, so the ligament can heal properly. It restricts side-to-side movement but not up-and-down and since I put it on, walking is less painful. he also told me to rest this week, but start walking normally soon. is this a usage for a brace you would recommend? he said it's so i wouldn't put a strain on the other joints and on my back when i'd avoid putting weight on the ankle.
he also told me not to wear the brace after the injury has fully healed
I saw a surgeon today who is having me fitted for a Arizona brace for arthritis in my ankle, I’ve been getting cortisone shots in my ankle for injuries and arthritis. What I went in for was to discuss ankle fusion. But I’m getting a brace. I guess if I. Feeling pain in my knee or hip I’ll just stop wearing it. Now I don’t know what to think, maybe I should ask her about this. Thanks for the vid
Hi scott!
I am a hiker with history of ankle injuries. my question is- should i use boots with ankle support? or is it the same as braces?
is ankle support a myth all together?
Ok I understand what you are saying however I have a fracture still in my ankle after shattering it. I find that with a brace on it helps me tremendously so with keeping the fracture in place so movement is relatively pain free. I do take the brace off and do exercises with bands which helps.
This is true. Whenever I wear ankle braces my both knees start feeling pain. As well as archly.
I broke my ankle 7 years ago and required a plate and screws to fix it. Over the years one of the screws has emerged a bit and rubs against shoes. I am required to wear shoes with ankle support at work, but this causes me pain and discomfort. Other than surgery to fix the screw what would you recommend for me?
crps ritht leg+heds +some Neurological damage// i found thet video during lookig for new ideas .i will be happy for an new idea
I just bought one for skateboarding.. but to only wear for that and this one is specialised and allows a bit of movement. Was planning on doing beach walks also to keep the strength up
I've always had loose ligaments in my ankle so if I don't wear a brace I risk completely tearing the ligament bc I've already sprained my right ankle 24 times. Sure I get what you're saying but some people actually need these. And you may say physical therapy will help but I keep growing so the ligaments just loosen up again.
What would happen if i only use them when i really need them? (I do skateboaring)
I had an ankle injury when i was 17 years old, now i have 24 years old and i still have problems with my ankle, so i was thinking on using one to be able to skate and prevent some pain on it, but i found this video and i don't really know what to do now
My ankle can move properly thank you very much and for knee braces doctors told me to where them because I have Osgood schlatter
I have Charcot Marie Tooth dz with bilateral caval foot deformities. One ankle has been surgically “semi fixed” and I wear a DonJoy on it. Convince me I’m wrong!!
I have severe flat feet. Meaning no arch. I injured my foot and now my right arch is much worse and i have to use arch supports and ankle braces or i can not stand for very long. Ive been to doctors and even had a custom orthodics and it helps but I'm not getting better. I'm really frustrated because i can't do the things i use to like run and hike but now it has affected my work as i stand all shift in a mostly stationary position only moving my upper body to perform the task and the pain i experience is becoming unbearable during and after work. When i come home it takes me about an hour to rest my feet before i can remove my work boots as my ankle and arch are swollen and purple. On my days off i find that im prone to inactivity due to the discomfort. Friday night i feel pain but by monday morning i feel an improvement but ofcourse i have to work again and the cycle starts over. At one point i took time off for almost two months and i felt better but soon after returning i was the same as before or worse. I've researched and tried different excercises but im not any better. Every time i try a new doctor or specialist it's almost the same. When I attempt to explain what im going through they always look at me like like im lying or exaggerating and even though they see the swelling and my lack of a arch i get the same suggestions. Map my foot order a new orthodic so on. The orthodics are supposed to last a year but in each case I'm back where i started after about four months. I buy the best work boots i try different ankle braces and I've yet to find any relief. Im gaining weight, lost muscle mass in my calves and have been depressed for the last two years and I'm completely exhausted. The most frustrating thing is the lack of understanding. I've never been an athlete but i was active and enjoyed jogging, hiking and cycling but now im just sitting around avoiding any activity so i can make it another work week.
I under pronate and have soreness near my peroneal tendons after walking a lot. Also when I make circles with my ankles they click 😬 I feel like I have to wear braces sometimes
I recently rolled my ankle took a day off went back to work the next day took 2 days off and the end of the second day off I started rehab massage hot and cold water stretching ABC's abduction adduction flexion and then walked on it for a 12 hour shift should I be wrapping it or just walking on it and massaging it throughout the day
So for volleyball me and most people we things like the active ankle t2 to prevent things like rolls even when we arnt hurt and they are very popular so are my ankle braces hurting me? Instead of helping me
+Kristen Marie
Please, watch the video and you will see why I am usually against the use of ankle braces. They tend to make the ankles weaker and weaker and they immobilize the ankle joint, which puts great stress on the knees and significantly increases the risk of a tear in the ACL or MCL knee ligaments.
So I sprained my ankle yesterday. Can I wear a wrap? My doctor told me to keep it wrapped and now I'm worried
What about hypermobility & flat feet? My foot arches fell because my ankle is double jointed, & when my feet roll in it damages my not just my ankle, but my knees & hips too.
What do you think about wearing basketball shoes that have heavy ankle support? Would you recommend low top ball shoes?
Scott, healing a broken Talus. What about protecting a recently broken bone when getting back into sports? Thanks
Cartilage has degenerated in both ankles. I am 70 years old. I need the support of the braces just to walk. I have not had any issue with my knees.
Great video, and thanks for the wisdom! It actually makes a lot of sense, and I found it very helpful.
I can barely walk due to soft tissue ankle damage. Hurts every time I take a step. Can I not wear an ankle brace till it heals ? Or do I have to keep reinjuring the tissue and enduring the pain till by walking on it everyday?
This makes a lot of sense. We rely so much on our muscle and tendon strength and when they're not performing as they should then they begin to atrophy (deteriorate). And one joint problem definitely causes joint problems further up the limb and into the back. It was described to me like this... Imagine you pull one thread in a tablecloth (or other material), when you look closely you can see the threads around the pulled area are also effected and it continues throughout the entire length of that pulled thread, all the way along it. And then those threads that have been pulled also pull on other threads around them. Our body is much the same, if you injure something it puts stress on other areas and if you don't build the strength back up in that spot then it's only going to create more problems further into your body.
I'm speaking from personal experience here. My fibula (the small bone in the back of your calf muscle) was surgically removed some time ago. It took a lot of physiotherapy to get me walking again, but my ankle is still a weak joint without the 2nd bone holding it together, which means I have to continually work on maintaining the strength in the muscles to support it. I do have an orthopaedic brace that I wear on the odd day, when I've damaged things again, but only until the joint itself has rested enough that I can start to work the muscles and regain the needed strength. The knee and hip, of not only that leg but the other one as well, are effected by any weakness in the ankle joint. As long as I can keep mobile and maintain the strength in the muscles, then things are as good as they'll get.
As Scott says in the video, in a normal sprained ankle injury ice and rest are the best treatments to begin with and then followed by exercise to rehab the injured muscles. There are always problems outside the norm, that require tailored treatment BUT strengthening exercises are STILL an important factor with any problem that involves a weakened joint or muscle/ligament injury. The more we rely on braces/tapes/crutches etc, the less the body will heal to full potential.
What about using ankle braces for mountain biking, with fully healthy ankles, just to avoid sprained/broken ankles?
what about for skateboarders???? When I skate without a ankle brace I roll my ankles much easier and I actually roll and sprain them and can't skate for a few weeks to a month while if I skate with ankle braces on if I roll my ankle the brace snaps my ankle/ foot back into normal position and I don't actually roll or sprain my ankle so I can keep skating. So what would you suggest since you state ankle braces are the devil lol thanks!
I skateboard and roll my ankle a lot. I previously did taekwondo and martial arts for 10 years. Im only 14 and my ankles are really messed up. My back, ankles, knees, and other joints hurt. My doctor said it may be lime disease, childhood arthritis, or just a bad injury. Anyone have any similar experience that could help me figure out what happened?
Are you familiar with Ehlers Danlos (EDS) a connective tissue disorder? The tissues don’t hold the joints. Do you think the ankle brace would help? There is no rehabbing and she has constant pain in her ankle along with the knee and hip issues.
What if you’re not using one post injury but to prevent injury?
No closed caption (cc)
You need to put or add cc.
Can you send me the transcripts?
I fractured my left ankle , left hand/wrist swiller last Dec 2018. One week in hospital then 6 weeks Rehab nursing home then home for home bound until today. But June starting outpatient p.t. Wore boot. Until around May. Brace June and July. Now without brace. Still hurting but better than before bec bruises on top and bottom of left foot ....
I have other injuries too
So when I recovery to able to walk. I will wear brace for walking or flat or some hiking or excerise depends on how much move. But take off when done. I never want to go thru again. I will see dr this end of moth to follow up and X-ray and hope my bone foot heal. Since I dint take medicine or calcium due allergy ingredients. Need to find right natural...
Anyway transcripts please what you said Video. Thanks
HIGH ALTITUDE NON-PREDICTABLE LANDING : i dislocated my ankle very badly about 10 years ago while skateboarding, rehabilitated and continued doing the dangerous sports with a brace from that point. the ankle never gained full stability and mobility despite my efforts.
i'm an acrobatic dunker as well, which means that there is a high possibility of landing on a basketball from hights above 2 meters (6 ft). i belive an ankle injury resulting from landing on a basketball from that high up would probably result in another dislocation, since the joint is loose and the ligaments streched - this is the reason i still wear a brace - it prooved to be essential many times.
i wondered, if that happened, would the next joint really be the knee, or would the force brake the brace and spring the ankle to prevent injuries above it?
so, would you recomend doing THIS sport without a brace?
What if you have what called a drop foot ? I find that it is easy to turn my ankles and fall down so not to brake my ankle because of it being so weak. Is it ok to use a brace ?
Hey man I have a ligament injury on my left ankle and I'm getting back into skateboarding finally after many years and I was considering in addition to high top shoes wearing an ankle brace just while skateboarding for only a few hours each week. What are you you're thoughts?
What if you rehabed but you just have to wear to protect it. Because I sprained my ankle and I also twist doing sports so I wear it to make sure
Are ankle braces / straps okay for the rehabilitation of Achilles tendonitis? (ie, only worn during the convalescing / resting period)
How can I stop my the bottom heels from hurting? It hurts every time I do some kind of physical activity like after football practice and it hurts bad. It happens every time and just doesn’t go away with any kind of therapy
This all makes sense, then again a lot of professional athletes use braces without experiencing worse issues then what they do without a brace. If you use it right and with slow training within specific ankle injury’s you should be fine long term. Just don’t rely on it. Use it more as a second support and slowly regain the strength you once had
alot of modern braces allow for mobility but prevent overflexing the joint what about those ?
good point of you. Did you recommend to wear the ankle brace just when you feel pain for short time or not.
I was told by my podiatrist to wear ankle braces because I have flat feet from being double jointed dose that still count
Dr. I had a motorcycle injury 20 years ago in which I broke my ankle. All was ok when I sprained it again two months ago.
Pain is in my inner foot/ ankle anterior? The x ray shows the tibia touching the talus ( ? ) which results in pain standing and walking.
So I should forget ankle supports and go just for physio?
Hi , is a good advise, but I have a question what if you have a flat foot it's not good to use the braise. ??? When physical therapy does not help at all.
I have osteoarthritis and I’m wondering if I’m still able to wear an ankle brace.
How about severe arthritis due to hemophiliac arthropathy. While awaiting fusion surgery
Most people here are playing basketball, football, tennis and similar sport activities. I got different situation, had my ankle broken in couple spots riding motocross bike. 3years passed now, ankle feels Ok, but I still got metal plate on one side and couple of screws at the bottom. Now I'm planning trial motorbike riding and was thinking of brace inside trial boots to give A bit more stiffness. It's not like basketball, I don't need that much movement, it's more if I fall on my feet, jump on it harder etc. Motocross boots are too stiff for trial, but with trial boot on it's own I feel like could be to soft. Would you say NO NO for ankle brace in that situation?
Cheers
I have never had an ankle injury. Yet, sometimes when I am walking, I'm fine. I could be fine for a whole year, then let's say I'm walking from the cafeteria at work to my car. Okay that's about a 2 or 3 minute walk. As I am walking, it just happens randomly, I don't step any different, but all of a sudden, I'll feel pain and then weakness in my right ankle. Then I have to step differently because if I keep walking normally, the pain persists. After 3 to 5 minutes, the pain completely disappears, and I could be fine again for the next 3 or 6 months before it does it again.
I bought an ankle brace to hopefully provide some kind of support to my ankle, but I never know when this pain will occur. It just does it at random for absolutely no reason at all.
Thank you, man! 👍🏽 I guess the body will know when I can jog my daily 5 miles!
your right of course but the problem is what if your the single bread winner in your home and really can't afford to take the time off to properly rehab, in my case it's a little different but the scenario is the same, I own my business but my cash register trained employee left for college and now I'm stuck working the cash register until I retrain someone, if I don't work the register I have to close for the day, the kitchen staff only speak Spanish, I can be on my feet for about 3 hrs. and then the pain starts to really kick in, the Frankenstein boot the Ortho gave me is not functional for my job, that is perfect for students with leg injuries that have the luxury of going class to class and sit in-between at their desks rehabbing their injury while being stationary, what do you suggest in my case, and I'm not just sitting at the register I'm mobile all the time during our lunch rush, BTW it's not a sprained ankle it's more like after a couple of hours my ankle can't support my body weight and starts to hurt/burn at the ankle
+javier migoya
Sorry to hear about your situation. The best thing I can think of would be to really rehab your ankle in the morning and at night and then you will find the ankle responds quickly and gets you out of pain much faster. Then, if you can sit at the cash register and take it easy for a few days, you will find your ankle probably heals very quickly. If you're interested, check out:
hemanklerehab.com to learn more about my ankle rehab system. You can do it all at home and even at work.
i'll check it out thanks
I screwed up my ankles for life due to over use of a walking boot and ankle braces. I would have been much better off just letting my ankle heal on its own. Now, 5 years later my ankles hurt more than they did when I originally went to the doctor 5 years ago. My ankles would not heal because I went to work everyday wearing a boot or ankle brace for at least 1-2 years or longer. Now my ankles have so much scare tissue, tendon damage, and arthritis I'm in constant pain. This all started from a small stress fracture. This snowballed into 4 surgeries (3 to my left ankle, 1 to my right ankle) for a torn tendon, and nerve, and arthritis pain. Surgeries just made everything worse.
I sprained my ankle while sleeping, God knows how it happened, Now it's been 5 days I can't walk and it hurts like hell 😭😭
So if I skateboard in high tops will that make me more prone to an injury?
What’s the best ankle support for nerve damage
I used to sprain my ankles a lot during football, or during any recreational activity when I was younger than I am now, and I did not rehab properly after each time; I did the relax and ice steps to "heal" injuries (that's what I was told when I was younger, to do) and now my ankles are both really stiff, weak and if i do ankle excersises my right ankle makes a popping sound. I just really wish I was smarter when I was younger. :(
Hello Scott. I had an injury in my ankle bone. All the ligaments broken down badly. Doctor told me that there is need of plaster on my ankle area. But my hubby took me to a physiotherapist I took five
sittings with physiotherapist., but after some it again started hurting me. Then I went to Ortho. They gave me ankle brace to bind for four weeks and also told me to give warm strokes of water.. But after one week it is hurting me more than before. So what to do. Please help
Question, I'm running again, I'm having problems with my ankle, and I keep falling. I had a servere cut to my craft to the bone years ago. Cut the nerve into. Last part of my mobility. Is it possible to regain it back or should I keep Waring the brace? This is not a smartalick question, just would like to know what is best.
my foot is too unstable because i was born with a chronic illness that effects the joints/ligaments and tendons. i have to wear braces like, everywhere. ive never had the stability in my wrist to write so i need a brace there, and i dont walk right without ankle braces. i have to wear them.
Would you say this applies to surgically repaired ankles after a fracture?
Sprained (hyper-extended it toward my shin) my ankle 5 months ago. It's slowly gotten stronger, but I can still barely walk before it gets too painful...think I shredded the cartilage on the bottom of my femur. Was just about to buy an ankle brace, but second-guessing that now.
I've had my share of ankle sprains as I've done the whole don't use ice or ankle bracelet, as well as movement and stuff to stable your ankle and I still had knee injuries...I believe that your body needs its time to heal it self naturally by resting an doing gentle movements so your ankle could get motion and sensibility...without proper caring you can cause stress or injuries to other parts of your body...you don't necessarily need ice but there are other remedies both natural or scientific ways of rehabilitating...I try to take a natural approach by using an elastic ban and movement also I try to not to put much stress on it or another part of my body..I also massage it gently it works for me...I'm also a bit heavy set and is rare when I roll my ankle...how this help someone if you feel like you need to see a doc for precaution resons go ahead sometimes that helps too...remember not all ankle injuries are the same....you should be able to tell you body will tell you
Hey, I got a sprain 4 months ago and I never let it heal correctly. Now I’m making sure to ice it and take care of it. But I’m worried it won’t go back to normal, because I still have pain if I try to move it a certain way. Do you think rehab could help me ?
what would you suggest for peroneal tendon subluxation? I only wear a brace for the sports I do. so far a brace and tape seem to the only thing to work. I will not get surgery as it can happen again.
I sprained my ankle and broke it so i wear one but it doesn’t effect my movement at all but it makes it look like my ankle are stronger can you please explain that if you can
Very informative video. Question; why do NBA players get taped up all the time (their ankles)?
I missed the last step going down the stairs. Both of my ankles twisted on the fall and both became swollen and red. Besides RICE, what can I do? No brace? It is the 2nd day of swelling.
What if someone have flat foot so do you recommend to wear it or not please reply as fast as you can
I ride scooters and I broke 3 of my metatarsals but whilst in the air cast for a month my ankle got quite loose and today I had my first session back and every time I landed it felt awkward on my ankle so I was thinking of getting an ankle brace as it felt like I kept rolling my ankle would you recommend wearing a brace?
Any suggestions for overuse??
I've got foot drop is it wise for me to wear an ankle brace,just to support my feet to 90degrees
My ankle brace def helped me
I have tedons that snap over the outside of my ankle i also have HSD and fysical therapy for threngtening of my ankels but it keeps doing it and it hurts verry bad
Sorry for my bad english i am from Holland
I fell down my stairs and sprained my ankle. Something in my ankle rolls and it’s incredibly uncomfortable on me, I work in a deli and am constantly on my feet, so I rely on the ankle brace to keep it from rolling. How should I keep the thing in my ankle from rolling while at work if the ankle brace does more damage?
It makes so much sense
