You must have had a pretty bad sprain. Most of mine haven't been nearly that severe, but any type of sprain is enough to ruin your day...or even month. Wow AnonJ.

After the swelling goes down and the pain disappears, I then turned towards perioceptive ankle exercises: I'd stand on one leg, close my eyes and balance on the strained ankle leg whilst moving the other foot backwards and forwards. It challenges all the little muscles in the foot to strengthen again. That was the worse part of getting a sprained ankle. I couldn't play my sport for ages, even simple things like driving took 2 months. Sprained ankles take even months to get back into pre-strain strength without rehabilitative exercises.
