Ankle Twist
I got a plaster for a ligament tear back in 2014. Since then I often twist my ankle while walking and hurt myself. My ankle swells up for days. Is it because my ankle is weak now?
What should be done apart from walking carefully?

Use ankle support brace...and do MARI scan to know about ligaments status....if it is too weak or complete tear it needs surgery
