    Sounds like your ankle is locked, which is causing your knee to lock. Try some full rotations of the ankle, clockwise and counterclockwise, each day with your normal stretches, and make sure you don't put weight on your ankles before they are stretched out and warmed up.

    Any coach or martial arts instructor can show you the proper way to loosen up your ankles.

    I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.

    So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.

    Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.

    A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.

    Heal your ankle fully & fast?

    Maybe u r over working urself, u could go 2 ur doctor, or if u live by a free clinic. Sometimes time might help. U should try streching b4 and after u excersise, that is a problem i was having a few years ago, but once i started streching the pain went away

    You should go to an orthopedist or your local sports med person. You could have done something serious. remember Rest Ice Compress and Elevate.

    Go to a sports medicine dr and have them look at it. you may have injured a muscle or have tendonitus. If you don't get this taken care of you may never play again if you continue to injure yourself.
