Ok so the story of the ankle is..
Around 2-3 years ago I was walking on grass and their was a hole in the ground which I didn’t see and I basically sprained my left ankle,

The pain with the ankle was on and off for months, so it didn’t bother me too much, I just cut down on cardio.

Then as I started weight lifting last year, my ankle got ridiculously bad, and I decided to wear an ankle support. I kept my ankle support on for a good 12-16 months, and its not really gotten any better,

Then around 6 months ago I went to see the phisio and he said that I shouldn’t be wearing my ankle support everyday, as the muscle will get lazy and it will be harder to repair. So I stopped wearing it. The problem is that my ankle hasn’t really gotten any better, infact its gotten worse. I work 3 days a week, and I find that after a hard days work, the pain in my ankle isn’t as bad as when I’ve been resting for a few days.

The pain is around this area( I marked it with red pen to illustrate):




 I find that it hurts when I bend my ankle upwards like this.




If I sleep and my ankle is stretched down like this, then the pain in the morning is really bad



 So I decided to wear an ankle support when im sleeping during the past month to keep my ankle straight during my sleep, and the pain has gone down a bit.

 I use a balance board for around 5 minutes in the morning and this helps stretch the muscles around my ankle and helps reduce the pain.

I try to jog in the morning and I find that my foot slaps the floor, lol hard to explain but basically when I try to run the ball of my foot hits the ground hard, and this hurts my ankle, so I don’t do it for long, (I can jog for like 30 seconds to 1 minute at the most)

Like with my other injury im looking for any feedback in terms of what it could be; what might help my injury and so on.

 Any feedback is hugely appreciated.

 Its my older brothers wedding on august the 7th, and my goal is to walk into the wedding without a limp.
