ankle injury?

[Vickie]

How long do they normally take to fully heal?

I injured my ankle pretty badly back in early May. I took 4-5 weeks off of workouts and started back using a brace. I was able to do most exercises bar mountain climbers without it hurting. But I'm still noticing some pain now.....if I walk on an uneven surface or step wrong or even if I happen to sit wrong (I can't sit with my ankle under me at all without it hurting).

I guess my question is should I back off the exercise for a while longer to see if the pain eases? I don't want to cause any further damage but exercising helps me keep my sanity.....

What did you do to it, Vickie?
Sometimes, when you've had an injury, that bit can stay weaker for ages afterwards.

I was walking (clumsy ) and it twisted under me at a 90 degree angle It bruised really badly and swelled up for a couple of weeks. The swelling and bruising finally all disappeared around 4 weeks I would say
