Physical Therapy: The quickest way to recover is to be involved in a good ankle rehabilitation program. This should include streching, strengthening and proprioception exercises. If after completing the rehab you are still having problems then you may need an MRI to evaluate your cartilage and soft tissue around your ankle.
