Why can't my ankle heal? I've sprained it so many times.?

Question

It all started with a bad sprain that I should have gotten checked out but didn't.

I live in Manhattan and have been to the hospital twice in my life, When I had to have surgery and when I broke my thumb. two months ago i sprained my ankle really badly and when it happened I not only heard a crack and a pop but my leg was straight but my ankle was touching the ground and my toes were pointing to the inside of my left leg. Anyway could someone tell me what's going on because I've sprained it 12 times in the past two months. What should I do? Thanks to anyone who answers.

Answer 1

12 times in 2 months?? that is way too often! have you seen a doctor and had it x-rayed before? if there are no problems with your bones, a physio should be able to givee you exercises to strengthen your ankle.
