So i sprained my ankle, it wasn't too bad to the point where I was in aggravating pain, I was able to tie it tight, get up and walk it off and get back to my pick up bball game, but obviously being physically limited. This was 3 1/2 weeks ago. The next day I was able to walk on it when no pain but, there is obvious pain when doing anything more than just walking. 2 days later, I worked on my shooting but thats it. I have been going to the courts to work on my shot 3-4 times a week since. At home, whenever I can, I do some ankle strengthening stuff like alphabets and some ankle stretches. For the past 2 1/2 weeks I have been able to get full range of motion on my ankle but landing when jumping still hurts and there's this other weird slight pain sometimes inside the ankle near the heel.
Another thing, on random days, I get weird pain on my LOW calf/ upper ankle on the back side of my leg....
So in conclusion, the past 2 1/2 weeks, I can kind of say it's been getting SLIGHTLY better every day but it's still not much improvement.... WHAT THE HECK is going on?
Am I supposed to not be even shooting around??? I heard if you just completely rest it to heal, your ankle will heal but will be weak and more likely to sprain again...
