A member asked:

Doing 4 way stretch, single leg exercises and calf raises for lateral ankle instability. painful afterwards. am i making it worse? podiatry f/u in wk.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: I am of the opinion that if a particular series of therapeutic exercises or maneuvers cause pain, that this therapy is deleterious and may cause more damage. I recommend a consultation with an orthopedic surgeon if you're not making progress with your chronic ankle problem.
