Doc eval: The number one reason an ankle sprain continues to hurt is lack of rehabilitation. The ligaments have been partially torn and the surrounding muscles remain weak and unbalanced, leading to continued ankle instability. Other reasons for continued pain include an undetected fracture, bone bruising or tendon tearing. Time to see a doc for a thorough exam and probable imaging (x-ray, mri).
