Basketball Ankle Braces
Well i play basketball a lot, and about a month ago i was playing and rolled my ankle but kept playing and then i rolled it again this time it popped. so i got an ankle brace and have worn it ever since and it got better. but today i was playing basketball and i rolled it again, now it is numb and as big as a tennis ball. what should i do? will i have a freakish looking ankle forever?

you better go see a doctor. you may have a lump of scar tissue or some kind of fluid trapped in there causing the swelling. see a doctor get healthy and wear ankle braces to prevent injury not to protech an injury from getting worse. get well and good luck.

To say that i have been through the same thing as you, its basically word for word. I’m actually on crutches right now for a stress fracture. Same foot, same place and its swollen and bruised. Since last year i fractured it also but championship games were in 5 days later. Probably not a good idea because every time i fall i sprain it again and again. Since this is basically what happened to you, my doctor said sit out for a month which seems impossible i no but its the only way that we will be able to play throughout our career and not have problems when we are older. REST,ICE, COMPRESSION, and ELEVATION!! get better soon
