Why do I keep twisting my ankle?

The more you twist your ankle, the weaker the tendons and ligaments become. You need to strengthen your muscles around your ankle joint so that you don't have this tendency anymore. What you shouldn't do is wear a brace all the time, as that will only weaken your ankle more; although wearing a brace for a short time is an okay thing.

When you twist or sprain your ankle constantly, you are injuring the ligaments around the ankle. Ligaments help to stabilize the ankle joint. As you stretch them, they get looser and looser. You should see a physical therapist who can evaluate your strength, to see if you have weakness around the ankle or the knee or hip. Weakness in these other areas can place more abnormal stresses on the ankle. The other thing they will look at is your proprioception. This is the ability for you to assess where your ankle joint is at all times. Many injuries lead to decreased proprioception. When this feedback mechanism is affected it leads to more recurring injuries. if the physical therapist feels there is something worse, they will refer you to an orthopedist.

You must have a pretty big kitchen to be able to do all that walking and manage to twist your ankle!

clumsy or you have flat feet... go see a podiatrist (foot doctor)

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?
