Question 1

what if i taped my ankle while it was sprained could i play soccer then?

Accepted Answer

Ankle Sprain: A sprained ankle means one or more ligaments on the outer side of your ankle were stretched or torn. If a sprain is not treated properly, you could have long-term problems.

Question 2

hematoma in ankle is it okay to play soccer on it ?

Accepted Answer

Probably so.: If it is only a hemotoma, but you've regained full range of motion, strength and function of your ankle, then it should be safe to resume soccer. You may consider taping your ankle for a couple of weeks, or wearing a lace up ankle support.

Question 3

how long before i can play soccer again after i sprained my ankle?

Accepted Answer

4 weeks typically: For sprained ankles, rice is usually the first step toward rehab.  Resting is obviously important but probably the hardest to do, icing around the area, compression with comfortable ace-bandage, and elevation.  Taking antiinflammatory medication can be helpful the first few weeks.  Also, getting over counter ankle bracing may help for more moderate sprains sprains.

Question 4

what are some problems that can occur in the ankle area after i play soccer with shin guards?

Accepted Answer

Blisters: Shin guards are a necessity when playing soccer. Bruises to the leg can possibly cause severe problems such as a compartment syndrome because there is little protection for the tibia in the front of the leg. Other than blisters from rubbing, I have seen few problems from wearing shin guards.

Question 5

how long does it usually take for a sprain ankle take to heal? can you play soccer with a sprained ankle

Accepted Answer

2-8weeks: anywhere from 2-8weeks.  I would not reccomend playing soccer, an activity with ample side to side movement that requires intact ankle ligaments.  You can start walking/light jogging if the pain isnt too bad, less than a 2-3 out of 10, but if more than that rest, Ice, compress it (ACE bandage), and elevate. (the RICE mnemonic)

Question 6

its been about a month since i sprained my ankle. when might i be able to play soccer and regain full mobility?

Accepted Answer

Progressive return: Once your pain & swelling is under control, you regain full range of motion & strength... You can use a home exercise program in many cases (band exercises, stretching, and balance) to help with the early stages of recovery, but as you return to sport (w/ brace) you should make sure you are able to perform the basics, before you try to fully practice/ play. If pain persists see md & have an x-ray.

Question 7

i know my ankle is not sprained but i play soccer and it feels really weak.. i don't remember hurting my self. what can i do ?

Accepted Answer

OTC Ankle brace: You're better off using an otc brace or splint that trying to tape yourself up at home.  It's not as easy as the professional trainers make it look.  You could also just see a podiatrist - many of us stock simple braces for simple sprains.

Question 8

my right ankle hurts every time i move it inward to the left. i play soccer and i heard something crack about 2 weeks.

Accepted Answer

Get it checked: You need to get it checked asap and do not play soccer till it is checked, it may be a sprain or a fracture.It needs examination and xrays and appropriate treatment
you can consult your doctor or a podiatrist.

Question 9

my uric acid is 7.71 mg i play soccer and had many ankle injuries. i woke up with a swollen ankle with pain. this has happened couple of times?

Accepted Answer

Could be Gout: Need to see a rheumatologist, have the ankle aspirated  and see if there are urate crystals.If this is [positive this is interval gout. If not then aspirate again with the next  attack to see if this is gout

Question 10

how long till i can play soccer or rugby after an ankle sprain. sprained my ankle 7 weeks ago physio told me today i'm not allowed to play how long?

Accepted Answer

Function and pain: It's hard question to answer given no much information provided. If the sprain was mild and you've achieved pain free status with restored function, then you should be gradually starting to return to your pre-injury activities. Normally, 7 weeks would be enough time to recover in an uncomplicated ankle sprain, but you gotta be pain free and able to function enough to return back to playing.
