Should I get my ankle checked out?

In August I sprained my ankle but I self diagnosed that. It still hurts me. Not as bad as it did in August but it still hurts to walk sometimes and I can’t sit in certain positions and I can barely do squats. Jumping hurts badly. And every now and then there’s a little swelling. And sometimes it seems like I have to pop my ankle back it place for it to stop hurting.

I’ve sprained my ankles quite a few times. The worst sprain took me a few months to recover, and I still don’t trust my ankles to endure the same activity. I wouldn’t want to risk it, getting injured really sucks.

Try massaging it and keep it elevated when you sleep, ice the ankle when you are able to rest.

Get it checked out if you think you should, though sprains take some time to heal.

Thank you!! I’m going to do what you said and if that doesn’t help out anymore then I’ll go to the doctors @LithiumDrop
