can an ankle sprain affect you on how you play basketball in the future? your jump, your run etc.?

Question

ive sprained my ankle about 10 times now on both ankles.

Answer 1

not if you let it heal and exercise it correctly

Answer 2

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.

So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.

Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.

A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.

Heal your ankle fully & fast?

Answer 3

Every time you sprain your ankle you damage your tendons. You do need to exercise it to strengthen the muscles for added support.

Since you are prone to sprains I was advise you to wear and ankle brace on both when you practice and play basketball.

The kind I recommend is made by Black & Baur. They look like really heavy support hose. (Only is not that long, more like an anklet) What makes this particular brand best is that there is no tight elastic around the foot and leg openings which can be very uncomfortable.

You can order them here.

Answer 4

I don't think you have allowed it to completely heal before you put it to the test again. Even broken ankles can heal completely if they are allowed to. Stay off of it until you feel NO PAIN. Not even a hint of discomfort. That's about it.

Answer 5

Well, it certainly can't be a good thing. As long as you aren't doing any serious damage when you sprain/roll them without knowing it, along with giving your body plenty of time to rest and heal you should be all right.

Answer 6

i did a similar ingredient. i merely took an afternoon without work. as quickly as I wasn't enjoying i saved a brace on it, and that i iced it for 10 minutes on 10 minutes off very almost all day. take some discomfort killers to make the swelling bypass down additionally. wish that helped.

Answer 7

The answer to your question is fairly obvious... Sports injuries, sideline sports careers...; the ankle and knees being the most vulnerable.

Answer 8

no, just wait till it heals until u play again each time and dont play when its sprained or hurts

Answer 9

yes, especially if you don't stay off of it until it heals all the way! it can heal wrong even if your not feeling pain because of pain relievers, so use the crutches as long as you can because you can cause permanent damage!

Answer 10

no if you let it heal properly and fully ull b back on the courts before u know it, don't sweat it ;)
