    Unhappy Damaged ankle problems help needed

    I was wondering if any one knew of any good exercises to strenghtn a damaged ankle?
    i hurt it last october cant remember excatly how i did it, i was at the bathurst v8 car races very drunk fell over and had a bit of trouble getting up but it didnt hurt that much when i was drunk(funny that). but the next day once i sobbered up it was really sore and i couldnt put any weight on it at all.
    it has been getting better slowly but i still have trouble turning and twisting on it at full speed.
    The doctor said i have tissue scaring damage and i should do exercise to strenght it, but im not sure which exercises to do.
    any help would be great thanks

    ask your doc for either specific exercises to do, or specific exercises to avoid.

    beyond that, work on your range of motion. try to write the alphabet with your toes. in addition to that, work on your balance to help strengthen the muscles around the ankle.
