About a year ago I tore to ligaments in my right ankle and the docter thought I also might have cracked a bone, but couldn't tell either way. I was on cruches woke up at five in the morning to go to physical therapy, and now a year later it still has some swelling and some days its fine, but other has a lot of pain. I swim competitivley and my times are still recovering from the season when I first hurt my ankle and couldn't swim, but now a year later I am training(trying to to get back my speed) and so frustrated that it still gives me problems. The docter said it might never completley go away because I have loose ligaments, and I accept that, but does anyone have tips to help with the pain or mabey strengthen up my ankle. I'm only a teenager and I hate the concstant pain in my ankle that keeps me from being able to go play or work out with my friends without wearing a ridiculous brace and that reminds me how good I used to be at swimming and how bad I got because of the injury.
