Ankle Soreness

[36Ryno]

Received a football scholarship in which I will be leaving in January. But in these last few weeks of field work and speed training I have felt soreness in an ankle I sprained over a year and a half ago. I don't feel any of the pain during running, lifts etc..

Is this just going to be something that will always be their since the Anterior ligaments were stretched??

I have the same problem. For me it's on the outside of my right ankle. Not sure what it's from to be honest.

It sounds like an overuse problem that you never addressed. You need to strengthen your foot and ankle muscles so you can handle the stress.

I tore most of the ligaments in my ankle from playing basketball and the #1 thing that has helped me so far is swimming. If I were you, I would just go in a pool somewhere with something to lay your stomach on to float and kick in the water.

Strengthen your ankle, and work on ankle mobility. Google the follinwg things. Ankle Strengthening exercises, ankle mobility exercises, mobilitywod (look up some videos about ankle mobility on youtube).

You could google ankle exercises but squats and deadlifts done correctLy will do the trick because thy require ankle stiffness to transmit the force to the ground. Also you need to reduce your running or stop completely until there is no more soreness. Running on weak ankles is like driving on flat tires.
