Specialist: I have found that the best course in postinjury prolonged chronic ankle problems is to be examined and treated by an orthopedic surgeon with special interest in such cases. Often this involves consulting such a specialist in the orthopedic department of a university hospital. Otherwise you may be left with a lifelong chronic ankle problem leading to severe lifestyle limitations.
