Rehab: Have you done rehab for this? With symptoms for that length of time, i would recommend multiple visits to a sports medicine oriented physical therapy practice. Are you using a brace? A prescribed brace may help. At times, small tears are not found on an mri. If you still don't see improvement with an advanced rehab program, then re-evaluation with a sports med/ortho physician would be worthwhile.

Hard to say: I would say it is safe to say that if you had an ankle injury 9 months ago and you are still having trouble with it, that it was more that a simple sprain. It would then come down to specifically what the diagnosis is. Usually a detailed exam and appropriate studies will determine the cause, thank you for the question.
