A member asked:
Sprained ankle nearly 3 months ago after 6 weeks seemed to heal and return to normal over the past week swelling and pain has returned?

get rechecked: Just because the ankle feels better after 6 weeks, it still needs to be conditioned to get back up to it's pre-injury strength. You may have re-injured the area or may have something new going on. Have it rechecked.
