Hi, i am 14, and i have had trouble with my ankles for a few years now, and worn ankle braces, recently my ankles have got worse and are now preventing me from playing sport for long periods of time, and it makes playing sport competitvely very risky. They feel very weak. I often go over on them and fall over easily because my balance is not very good with them. I was wondering what type of injury it could be, whether it is something to do with my ligaments or something?
What can i do? Is there any stretches or something that i could do to build my ankles back to be strong and fit again so i am able to continue with my sport. They are really getting in the way of my progression in sport. Any suggestions?
Any help is really appreciated.

At 14 and with the problems that you describe, surely your hospital would tell you the problem.

I agree with smudger2, at 14 with chronic (chronic is a timescale, not a severity indication) injury, physio at the local hospital or via a community physio should be available.
Speak with your G.P and state you want exercise therapy NOT medication if at all possible. At the very least there may be a local G.P. referral scheme in a local gym where qualified staff offer reduced prices?

You will need to re-educate the neuromuscular link between your ankle ligaments and your brain. Learn about Ankle and proprioceptive exercises.
