I am the queen of ankle sprains. I was a gymnast and I have a chronically ruptured ATF ligament in my right ankle. I suspect my left ankle has issues, too, but haven't had an MRI on it. Do you have an injury that wasn't evaluated earlier in life? It's not normal to sprain an ankle just standing there. I've been able to avoid surgery by going to PT, and following up with a lot of balance work to strengthen my ankles. Once you get back on your feet (literally), maybe start to incorporate some single leg stands and progress from there. You don't want to fall and break something in the future. Hope you feel better soon.

I had two pretty bad sprains in high school (from sports), within a year of each other. Ever since then, I've been prone to rolling it (every few years I seem to turn an ankle). Neither time had any sort of medical intervention, other than ice and wrapping and keep playing ASAP. And I agree: balance and ankle strengthening are high on my priority list. I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis lately -- I wondered if maybe I'd over-stretched that foot, making it more "loose" and easy to sprain. (Idk if that's even a thing...) |
