Severe ankle sprain 7.5 wks ago. healed except can't squat fully down & ankle still much wider than other despite no moresoft swelling. can walk fine, jump rope, jog, lift weights & hiked 24 mi since sprain. why is ankle still so large & stiff squat?

Stiffness can mean healing of soft tissue is still present. You can see a physical therapist for ultrasound, message of soft tissue with strengthening. At home you can try contrast bath therapy. 1 minute in ice water followed by 3 minutes in hot water 5 times in each plus tincture of time. The ankles may never look exactly alike.
