Dude i know, the same thing happend to me. Im about 3 weeks into the injury and i can walk perfectly fine but when i try to stretch my ankle inward(as if i was sliding/flicking my foot for a trick)it hurts still. Did your ankle ever recover? thanks

You need to strengthen your ankle and work on improving your balance. The original injury damaged your ankle and now your muscles and joints are not working right, and are not working together. That is why you keep tweaking it.

A good strengthening program that includes exercises for balance and endurance would help.
