A member asked:
After spraining both my ankles, one 6 mnths and one 3 mnths ago, they still bother me and my feet go numb, swollen and red.. is this permanent? cure?

Not permanent but: This doesn't sound permanent but needs definitive treatment. You'll need to be seen by a specialist and created properly for possible subtle pathology (possible defect in cartilage, higher level damage or more severe injury, etc). You're young so shouldn't be too bad of a recovery.
