Back in june I tore 6 ligaments in my right ankle while playing basketball. The doctor told me it would completely heal in 6 months. But a week and a half ago I reinjured my ankle my pulling a couple of ligaments. I was just running when it happened. I talked to my B-Ball coach and he said he tore his ligaments in '98 and that I will always have a higher risk of hurting it again. Is that true and will my ankle ever be as strong as it once was or will it be a permanent injury?

every night before you go to bed try to put your toes to the floor and then do it the opposite way- up. it will help you strengthen your muscles around your ankles.(do it slow and if you just injured it wait for a bit to do it)

If this is the same a spraining your ankle, you have to be really careful. Sometimes you have to immobilize and support the joint with a tensor bandage to give it a chance to heal. Mine was still painful a year after I sprained it, but I was not an athlete, so it was probably already weak.

i heard ligaments were the worst thing to mess up. if they say, stay off for 6 months. you better do it.
