What can you do for weak ankles?
Answer: When you ankle swells up from a sports related injury its always best to use ice, take some from your freezer and put it in a plastic bag, tie it up and put that bag into a thin towel or a T-shirt or something then let it sit on your ankle until its numb then take it off. Also when icing its good to keep your ankle elevated, you can do this comfortably by sitting with your feet up on your couch and watching TV or reading. Using ice helps with alot of sports related injuries. Also when its feeling better (after about a week of taking it easy and icing it) then you can move your ankle around in circles. Your calves are the closest muscles that control the ankle so you can work on them by doing things like squats, lifting yourself up onto the balls of your feet and slowly letting your heel rest on the ground, and going out for a jog around the neighborhood. your friend, Ginj88
