My ankle has been sprained for two months, fortunately two weeks ago my doctor put my ankle in a boot 👍. I wear it 80% of the day and it has helped me (especially with the swelling). Now I think it's time to do some physical therapy exercises while I'm at home. More than one person including the doc suggested that I start.

[@wesleywatson214]

I tore the ligaments in both of my ankles at the same time in a skating accident. It’s been about three months and I still have severe pain whenever I try to ride again, these exercises and consistently heating and cooling has definitely helped!

[@mrsparkkimjeon9985]

Hello. In this lockdown, while getting up i landed wrong and heard a audible snap in my outer ankle. is it ligament tear? how long does it take to heal?

[@noahalexander2019]

mrsParkKimJeon a complete tear takes about a month to heal, I’m not sure though but that’s how long I had to wear a cast for

[@azment8666]

Mild, low-grade ankle sprains will usually heal in one to three weeks with proper rest and non-surgical care( such as applying ice). Moderate injuries may take between three and four weeks. Because of limited blood flow to the ligaments of the ankle, more severe injuries may take between three and six months to heal. i severely stretched my ankle ligament 6 months ago and it hasnt fully recovered. I imagine if i had torn it it would be taking much longer to recover

[@abhishek-xh2ld]

@@mrsparkkimjeon9985 it's hard to tear a ligament just by normal twist unless you have very weak muscles.Its most probably a tendon or muscle tear. Anyway, First make sure your foot is aligned correctly. Than ice it , than wrap it up tightly with a bandage and keep it elevated. If swelling isn't reduced in 3-4 days contact a doctor. It generally takes 5-10 days to recover if it's minor tear and if you are young. And another 10 days of rehab before returning to normal.

[@abhishek-xh2ld]

@@azment8666 I also badly twisted by ankle 15 days ago while sprinting. I wore a cast for 10 days. Now after 5 days of removing cast I can move with my normal pace but can't run or jump. I am doing hot water massage on my ankle and than some stretching exercises to recover fast. I think I'll be back to normal in another 10 days.

Tore my left ATFL, got surgery, never fully recovered yet after 6 months, and then tore my right ATFL while running not too long ago. Safe to say I’ll be doing these exercises for a while

How's it been going so far?I got injured same way June 14 on a ride with my motorcycle and got a compound medial/lateral malleoli fracture thankfully with minimal displacement so no surgery was required,just a splint for 8 weeks with no weight bearing until 6 weeks had passed.My ortho told me no boot is needed,only physio with a normal gait outcome and getting back to work as a mechanic at around four months.Have you managed to get on the saddle yet?

[@karunakarana.rajamanickam5002]

@@MrJimmysko It has been a slow ride recovery. The Head Specialist told me at the outset that it would take at least 6 months for recovery. I was rather shocked hearing that and was counting days since then. It has been 7 months. My ankle regression is still not normal. The area below 4 toes is still numb and a certain tight feeling inside. If I exert too much by walking barefooted, the numbness and mild swelling spreads below toes and moving upwards. Bought an expensive shoes specially made for this but it actually caused more swelling, discomfort and pain below the sole. The healing journey is ongoing. Hope it gets better because I noticed the numbness never improved since April. Hope this will not be permanent.

I kinda screwed myself in the long run. I injured my ankle in a scrimmage against our 03 team were are 04s but I’m playing up I’m an 06 so there is a pretty significant-gap in age, size and strength. It was a 50-50 with the keeper and I ended up messing up my right ankle pretty bad. With a big tournament coming up I tried to let my ankle heal and wore a ankle brace to practice and school. Our tournament I started pre usual and I tried using only my left foot for shooting and pinging the ball Bc my weak foot is pretty good just slightly less powerful but other than that it’s really good. I had a goal scoring opportunity with my right a took it and rehurt my ankle and asked for a sub. We ended up winning and winning games in the tournament jt it sucked sitting out Bc I love to play. I always told my coach I was ready to go in but thankfully he understood I needed it to heal or else it would never get better. And in the final of the tournament we got thrashed and our players we starting to get hurt and our bench was filled with hurt players. And on the drive back home I cried in anger knowing that coach could have played me but instead I just watched my teammates get beaten and hurt. It was truly painful as I’m a captain and always want to help and motivate my team but I just couldn’t. I’m hoping my ankle gets better soon especially Bc school season is coming up.

Hey how to increase the range of dorsiflexion movement

[@Majik260]

Whats the odds you tore a ligament or fractured a bone if you are able to walk on it immediately after spraining it and the days after? Rolled mine 3 days ago and was able to walk back to the car on it about a mile. It swelled up a bunch but the swelling already has gone down for the most part, it was tender over the ankle bone but now I can press the area and no pain. Bruising only slightly about the size of a penny a inch under the ankle bone but i am able to put full weight on it, stand one leg on it and walk although im slower than usual walking especially when I go up onto curbs and stairs.

I wouldn't apply pressure anywhere in particular. If it hurts maybe is not the right exercise for you at this particular moment. Just try to keep your ankle in neutral, always keep good control and let the muscles of your ankle and foot to work stabilizing your body.

[@elizabethpeterson1644]

Over 5 years ago on October 19th,2017 that I tore an ligament in my right ankle. I thought that I broke that ankle when I tried to get up a couple times. It was really bad sprained ankle. Just a little bit over 11 years ago on March 7th,2012 that I broke my left ankle from a bad car accident. I had surgery on my left ankle. I have been always careful in walking during the winter time. Even where I’m stepping in walking,too. I still have a boot for my ankle just in case of another sprain. I went to PT on my left ankle in 2012. Never did on my right ankle from that awful sprain. When I was little that I did sprained my ankle when I was 4 years old and even when I was 7 years old. It took me a couple of days to get back to normal when I was little. That is what I hate is a fall from a sprained ankle mostly for me. In my adult years that I get back up right away to sit somewhere close by after a fall.
