Good reflection, but don't worry with a little care and some physio work you should be looking to try to get assessed at 110% of where you think you were before before playing another match,
I then went to A+E 9 days after when they gave me a cast for 10 days as they were unsure if it was broke as the xray had a vessel on it,
What vessel?
the cast has now been removed, and they have said that i cannot play football until passed fit by a physio
Indeed, there are many research studies that have shown that athletes may benefit from sports specific assessments to examine match preparedness, it may be beneficial to get up to full strength or you HIGHLY increase the risk of re-injury
do you know how long this will be? and will my ankle always be weak
Unless there is underlying significant trauma it shouldn't be more than a few weeks
Thanks
As above, regards
