How can i deal with my chronic ankle pain and instability from a severe sprain 20 months ago?

Ankle stabilization: If you are still having pain and problems you may need a ankle stabilization procedure. Some ankle stress xrays could be helpful in diagnosing your problem. You should see a specialist.
