Is it possible to re-injure an ankle that has already been sprained?

Asked 4 years ago

Hey guys, I sprained my ankle a few months ago and it's been feeling better lately. However, I'm wondering if it's possible to re-injure it again? I don't want to go through the pain and recovery process all over again. Has anyone experienced this before or have any advice on how to prevent re-injury? Thanks in advance!

Yes, it’s possible. Once sprained is not always immune. In fact, it gets more painful on repeat sprain. Regularly stretch your ankles to keep them flexible to prevent a repeat sprain. Always warm up before engaging in sports, and watch your steps while walking or wet on uneven surfaces.
