Will i ever be able to play sports again if i have ligament laxity in my right ankle, knee, and thigh? will my leg ever feel the same?

Laxity: Ligament sprains over time or multiple injuries to the same joint will result in ligament laxity or attenuation - a stretching of the ligaments. Resistance exercises or strengthening your ankle and knee muscles will tighten those muscles and tendons and help reduce the laxity. Surgery can be performed is cases where the muscles and ligaments are both stretched/ laxed to tighten them up.
