Finally a you tube site that gave the clear advice for sprained ankles. Thank you so much.

[daveteves]

Do I start doing the ankle exercises right away?

[abbeycochrane]

Is the advice the same for grade 1, 2 and 3 sprains? And does the advice differ if the CFL is also involved?

[anisotropik]

This is precisely the information I was looking for and you delivered it beautifully, thank you so much!

It's been a week after injury. Still can't wear my regular shoes. The ATFL gives pinching pain. I have been given more 72hrs rest from office and told not to bear weight at all on the sprained ankle... even though i told i can walk comfortably bare foot. Im really sad to skip my workouts. I have a half marathon coming up. 😢

Is it safe to do these exercises whilst it’s still swollen? Still waiting on nhs over it… done through repetitive strain injury after swimming Lake Coniston and Ullswater full length in recent weeks. Thing is, I’m 6 weeks out from swimming Windermere so need to crack on witch a fix asap

Hey!
I just had a very recent ankle sprain that got much worse after another sprain a week later from the original one.

I watched your video and found it very informative, it explained how I literally got my first sprain. Thank you very much!

So, story short I fell around 8 days ago and a week later, I walked a few steps without the elastic support, and suddenly I was all over the floor and this is when I realized this 2nd fall got me way worse.

In that first week, I tried to relax the first couple of days, but very quickly I resumed my Yoga and bit by bit, started to treat my ankle as if it was not injured, I was still off from work though.

After my 2nd fall, I got too scared, especially that my doctor advised me to wear a removeable immobilizer for 3 weeks and I am too scared this could be an ongoing condition where I could fall anytime I am walking or running or doing anything of the sort.

I work as a Flight Attendant and our uniform standards will not allow me to wear an ankle support whilst on duty.

Questions are, if I have a complete torn of all three ankle ligaments, how long it takes them to fully recover? And, After how many days I can start the strengthening exercises for my ankle?

Lastly, any advises please?

What a fantastic video! Super informative and so helpful. Loved it!

[bilalsidheeque]

how to know the severity of the injuries and when to start doing simple exercises? after a week or 2 weeks ?

[paulalyssaclaire]

Great to hear and how the initial phase immediately after the sprain. And the science study to support it.
Thanks.

This was the assessment I received:
- Closed nondisplaced fracture of medial malleolus of left tibia, initial encounter
- Grade 2 ankle sprain

Its barely been a week. The Orthopedic dr. said I have to wear the boot and crutches all the time except for showering.
Do you still recommend following this and not taking the boot off at all?

[resagelato]

My pain is in my knee and my ankle, no swelling. Went down a step with my clodd hoppers on, lost balance and twisted my ankle.
This put a halt to my weed pulling that I've been doing for two days.
BioFreeze helps.
is there a way to tell if you have any broken bones without going to the hospital, swelling maybe?

[lyrasunshard]

Thank you boss 🙂 i sprained mine yesterday and i was all depressed bc i have to heal and take time off training

[ronaldxavier]

2.Grade II sprain of posterior talofibular ligament.

@ClinicalPhysio Could you please suggest on the further treatment?

[hakim]

i got this injury 2 weeks ago. I'm a sports person. i just wondering how long should it takes to get fully recovered in order for me to get back to sports? now i can walk even run, but i still feel pain when i press with my finger at my ankle. i play badminton, volleyball, also running for half and full marathon. please help me. Thank you.

[drhassanaskary]

Sorry sir you did not grade the ankle injury & use of plaster slabs in grade 3 or grade 4 injuries asfar as I understand ligaments get stretched or torn depending on the grade of injury role of scans & the need for immobilization for sometime for the ligaments to heal in position to prevent laxity of ligaments & future instabilities ihope I'm correct pls update

[GnarlyWorld]

Amazing video - just had a nasty sprain and heard so many contradictions
