A few years ago i rolled my ankle in cheerleading, it was pretty bad even though i never went to the dr to see if there were any broken bones. My ankle is fine now but i twist it every now and then. My question.Is there any thing that i can do to prevent me from reinjuring my ankle the same way as before. I am getting ready to start cheering and tumbling again and i dont want to end up being out for a whole season cause of an ankle injury.
Answer:
It sounds like you may have Sprained it and if you did not receive proper Care during this time, it has never healed properly. There is also the chance Arthritis has set in it. Before you start CheerLeading again, go see a Doctor and let him Xray that ankle. He may put it in an elastic bandage to protect your ankle for awhile. Be safe not sorry.
get an ankle brace, it will help keep it stable
Be sure to wrap your ankle to keep it supported. That should help some. Also, go to your doctor and tell him what happened. He may recommend physical therapy and that too could help stregthen your ankle.
Make sure you wrap it in an ace bandage or tape. This will give it more support.
i would buy an ankle brace. my ankles roll all the time when i played bball. you can get them at any sports store.
Injuries never heal completely. The ligaments and tendons have been stretched and scarred. Buy a good brace or learn to tape.
You have chronic ankle instability. You should see your doctor and get sent off to see a physical therapist. If you do not properly rehab the ankle it will be unstable and the brace will only make it weaker.
