: The first question, I am going to ask is, have you ever performed any rehabilitation on the injured ankle? Nothing was mentioned. I would see a physical therapist and rehabilitate the injury as well as strengthen the muscles to protect the joint from further injury. If you had swelling , you did some damages somewhere.
