Sometimes when i get up to walk my ankle will give out almost feels like a sprain stiff why does this happen?

Hmmm?: Could be coordination, ligament laxity, loose body or motor weakness. Most common is simply a poorly rehabbed ankle sprain but it should be checked to clarfy.

Spain: When an ankle gives out usually there is a history of sprains in the past and possible ligament damage. Get MRI to be safe.
