You've almost certainly sprained your ankle at some point. Your ankle anatomy actually sets you up for failure.

Hi, I’m Patrick. I’m a freelance science writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training and a master’s in clinical exercise physiology. I used to work in the clinical setting as a certified athletic trainer, physical therapy aide, and a certified strength and conditioning specialist. After working in the clinical setting, I went back to school and became a teacher. The goal of my content is to help normal people, not just pre-med students, learn about the human body. That might mean explaining a topic from an anatomy class or exploring a topic from medical history.

  • Considering I got a grade 3 sprain on my ankle last year from falling, this was really interesting to why it sometimes still hurts. Thanks Patrick! Also, your videos are helping me get through A&P Lab

    I was a ballet dancer as a teenager and sprained/tore my deltoid ligament pretty badly. Then, while it was still healing I had the same exact injury on the other foot, though not as badly (because I stupidly continued trying to dance). I was told at the time that I was more predisposed because I have an extra bone in my foot (?). I was a bit too young to pay attention to details but basically it looks like I have 2 bumps instead of one on the inside of my foot. It took close to a decade to fully heal and even now at age 31 it still bothers me if I walk a bit too long. Interestingly I've never had the more common sprains in my life despite all the strain my feet have been under.
  • Not me having sprained both ankles. My left was inversion sprain, where the ligament got slightly torn of the bone, taking a piece with it. That one was really unstable for a good year and it could take a small dip in the walkway for me to sprain it yet again. And the right ankle was when I slipped with my bike and my medial side hit the pedal, making it go into eversion. While no swelling present after the incident, I couldn't keep my foot flexed for more than 15 minutes.

    I'm personally at ankle sprain #5 at this point. A lifetime of riding BMX did me dirty. How about y'all?
  • But we spend way more time outside of sport settings so yeah doing sports is a major risk factor. Edit: On a rewatch I understand what you mean but it's weird not to just point out the obvious, we spend more time not exercising so even though there is less of a chance it can and still does happen.

    Can you do a video on wrist sprains. I have two 'perminantly' sprained wrists which means slight overload (less than what it would usually take to sprain) means I get a sprained wrist. Does this mean I have chronic wrist instability?
