Had ligament repair but now have over flexible ligaments. is there anything i can do? ankle gives way at least 4 times per week

Therapy /alignment: typically ligament repair is performed to increase stability and tighten structures. Physical therapy can assist to increase muscle strength and proprioception at the ankle which could be very helpful. I would also recommend a bio mechanical exam to evaluate alignment and function of extremity. Bracing can be beneficial during increased activity to prevent injury. See doc if persists.
