A member asked:

Why does past sprained ankle hurt randomly for me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sprained: If you sprain it easily or frequently you have chronic lateral ankle instability if this was one time did you get it checked? If not i suggest you do. In mean time try rest, ice, compression and elevation.
