What's wrong with my Ankle?!
Question: What's wrong with my Ankle?
When I was little I sprained my ankle really really bad. I went to the ER and everything was treated correctly and cured. That was when I was about 5. Now I'm 13 years old and I have the worst problems with my ankle. When I play any sport that involves running I come home and my ankle is swollen and it hurts. I wear ankle braces 24/7 and they help when I play but afterwords there's nothing I can do. I ice elevate and do anything that you would do if your ankle hurts bit honestly nothing helps. I have gotten An MRI and x-Ray but they say nothing is wrong, I know something isn't right, though.
Any help?

Answers:
If you have not had any physical therapy yet, I would suggest doing that. Since you were 5 when you first had problems, your foot had to compensate when you grew and got older. PT can strengthen your foot, but it is a lot of work and it will hurt, but keep going.
You should definitely go for therapy before it becomes worse. Also, maybe you should check with your doctor if it's advisable to do sports that involve running in your condition.
