damaged ligaments and muscles that stabilise the ankle have a lot of proprioceptive (balance) receptors. damage the ligament you can affect your balance which then leaves you at risk of further injury.
to get a proper rehab for your ankle you need to do
for a pain relief:-
1)get a parafene wax bottle from a local chemist shop or a physiotherapy equipmemnt supplier. you need to apply the wax on your ankle. you can also do the same in a clinic.
2)4 to five sessions of iterferrential therapy id required whioch can be availed in a physio clinic or by a home physiotherapist.
Once pain is subsided to some extent you need to do the following:
1) some balance exercises - standing on one leg. You should be able to do this without putting your foot down for at least 30 secs.
2) The second thing is to strngthen the muscles. The basic exercise would be cross you feet (bad one on top) and then push your feet into each other as if you are trying to turn them out.
3) some resistance training doing that action. I use theraband which you can get from a physio clinic.
i hope this will help you.
