Sprained ankle 4 months ago still hurting?

Posted , 2 users are following.

So I sprained my ankle back at the end of November when I was on holiday, it was really bad and was classed as a grade 3. Being on holiday I skipped the hospital and doctors until I got back to the UK, 3 weeks later, due to being able to walk/move it while I was away I didnt feel any need.

However, four months and I'm still having issues with it, surprisingly I get a lot of pain and trouble with my ankle when I have not done a lot of steps or exercise and take it easy. Funnily enough I also had the same experience when I first did it, such as it didn't play up a lot when I was doing 10k+ steps a day, however, whenever I had a more relaxed day it would play up and be painful.

I don't have full mobility off it yet, as still can't walk in heels! I've been booked in with a physio therapist in a few weeks but just curious as to why I have such a rough time when I'm relaxing it, surely it should be the other way around?
