Hello Pals, need some advice on a rolled ankle. I'll start by saying I'm 26 and haven't really had a bad rolled ankle in a good 4 or 5 years, and last time around it was just a case of icing it, staying off it for a week or two and it was fine. Rolled my left ankle on the 31st May, swelled up and bruised etc. Got home and iced it, couldn't really walk on it the next day. Gave it a couple days, walking became fine, swelling went down and after about a week or so the bruising was pretty much gone. Went for a skate on Saturday and couldn't do a fucking thing, I'm goofy so it's my popping foot and it just felt super weak/no strength etc. Side to side movements feel fine, it's more so leaning forward on it that causes pain, almost feels like something kinda needs to pop I guess. I did watch one video on rehab where the guy stated find a wall/flat surface etc and lean forward on the injured side until the knee touches the surface without lifting the heel up, even with my foot flat to the wall it was somewhat painful.
Any advice/recommended exercises for getting it back up to full strength? Having to rehab/physio an injury is kind of uncharted territory for me and there's a metric shit ton of advice out there so I figured I'd ask here and try and get a more consolidated amount of advice. Been doing sets of calf raises, the spell the alphabet shit and a bunch of cycling too, but if anyone has any input I'd appreciate it.
