Most common ankle ligament tear is Atfl ligament tear Best time to treat ankle ligament is after you have the injury with plaster application for 3 weeks. After that it becomes chronic tear Still get yourself checked and still if I can get a cast application it can be helpful. Avoid strenuous exercise and once cast is removed do strengthening exercises
