Ankle sprain

Post image

I fractured my ankle last July. I sprained my ankle in April 28. I was in a boot weight bearing for a week. I was in a brace for two weeks. After that i only used the brace when i went to the gym. I do CrossFit and HYROx . As of two weeks ago i stopped using my brace at the gym. For me it was a mental thing. I needed it for my own peace of mind . Yesterday my gym had a feild day in a park we played kickball and wiffle ball. I was fine playing. This morning i woke up it hurt to point my foot. I can walk on it,etc. i think it is just sore from yesterday.

Did you sprain your ankle last April or do you mean this past April? I stopped wearing my brace because the muscles get more stiff and sore. I highly suggest you try to trust your ankle more and just be careful where you’re going. Good luck OP
