Ouch, a high ankle sprain is generally quite tedious. I hope Frank heals up pretty quick, but it will probably be awhile, depending on the damage his ankle has sustained. All the best in recovery!

Hi Dr. McNally, thanks a lot for your opinion! I ended up grabbing the rehab guide and have been at it the past 3 weeks for my right ankle. It's been going super well for me, much better than I imagined. But as you said, everyone is different, so great suggestions. Thanks!

Coach, to be honest, I'm not sure about your particular situation.. and since you have a BA I'm sure you know way more than me! But I've had my own trouble with ankle sprains (during basketball) and had always seemed to re-sprain them at some point. This last time though (about 3 weeks ago) I sprained my right ankle again, for the 4th or 5th time..

While researching around online I can across this site:http://www.sprainedankle.org/ - It walked me through the H.E.M. ankle rehab guide, and told me about the benefits, etc. To be honest I was really skeptical.. but it kicked some serious butt! Lots of great techniques and pt exercises in there, especially for only $20. I ended up rehabbing it for the last 3 weeks. The swelling was way down after only a few days, and it's been getting stronger ever since. Something to check out if you're looking for some great techniques and exercises to rehab it.

Best,

Has anyone used the sprained ankle rehab guide called HEM? It's been recommended to me by this site: http://www.sprainedankle.me/

It seems like plenty of people have tried it, but I'd like a real time recommendation of it. Have you used it? How long does it really take to see results? Thank you!
