When I messed up my ankle last year I wore a Sweedo ankle brace when I played grass 2's and it was awesome. Some people swear by the active ankles, but I preferred the brace - they each have their pros & cons. Of course I did the ritual ortho dude visit, x-rays, I skipped the MRI stuff he suggested cuz it started to get better after a while of working on it. One time when it got kinda bad, ortho dude gave me some kinda steroid prescrip - no wait, that was for my knee from running and playing beach vb too much - lol! I tried to wean myself off the brace for gym floors and didn't use it in sand.

And now for the tougher next part. Whenever I mess up my ankle I work to build it back up again...and this is probably bad advice....but anyway, jog, do the stepper, squats, and those split squats once you're able....all in combo. Really built the ankles back. Stop if it hurts, rest for a day or two, and then repeat. Rotate ankles at night before going to sleep.
