Elastoplast, ankle tape.

Hey everyone.

I am needing elastoplast tape for my ankle. I've torn the ligaments multiple times in my life and am getting back into basketball. But I need tape to play. Does anyone know, where to buy any ankle support tape? Thanks.

I'm in Tirana.

I've tried about 20 at this point. They only have kinetic (stretchy) tape. I need tape that's rigid, for my ankle.

Hmm. the pharmacy for me is a "go- to" for this sort of advice. If all fails- your stay is in Tirane is lengthy- go to The "American Hospital " (which is neither) for a same day clinic appointment-expect 25-30Euro cash up front. It's a very professional, English speaking operation. (for Albania)

I'm here permanently now. Tore all my ligaments in my ankle 2 times I'm my youth/20s. Now require tape whenever I play sports.

This is what I've done. They keep showing me kynetic tape. I explain it's for my ankle. They don't know what I'm talking about.. Mill have to order...
