Can i stay active if i have a bad ankle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, may be limited: Yes. You may have to tailor your activities depending on the condition of your ankle. For example, if it is unstable you may should undergo appropriate rehab/pt, wear a brace, and consider surgery if full course of nonop tx fails. If there is arthritis or DJD you may have to focus on low impact activities. Best bet: see a sports med specialist, get recs re treatment+best activities for you.
