Is it bad if i strained both ankles twice?

Question

ok last summer i strained my left ankle

then i strained my right ankle near the end of 2007

then i strained my right ankle again a couple of months ago

now i strained my left ankle again yesterday

all from skateboarding (yes i know) lol

but is it bad if they're strained twice? cause my right ankle is already healed and all

usually it takes a few weeks to a month for it to heal

but im wondrerin if its bad?

Answer 1

It is bad, but not something to worry over.  I have weak ankles, and they sprain/twist easily.  Really, you should go to physical therapy and they'll do exercises for them that will strengthen them.  Otherwise, they will continue to sprain easily.  I suggest you get a elastic band, and find exercises to strengthen them.  I promise, once you fix them, they're less likely to keep acting up on you!

Answer 2

well if its only a strain then it cant be too harmful and if both ankles were healed before the second sprain, then your ankles should be fine, but if you strained them in the healing process, it might be bad, or at least take longer to heal, take as much pressure off of any body parts that are injured until fully recovered, or its possible to damage it worse.
