Question
I broke my ankle about five months ago and used a cast for it, but didn't have any surgery. It's healed now, but sometimes I'm still getting pain and swelling. I already talked to an ortho, and they said no workouts for a year and that I don't need physical therapy or any other treatment. I'm really wondering if I should be using a crepe bandage, anklet, ankle binder, or ankle brace to fully recover and be able to start working out again. What do you think would be best?

-It's great that your ankle is healing, but since your doctor advised no workouts for a year, it's best to follow that. For support during daily activities, using an ankle brace or binder can provide stability, but avoid straining it until you're cleared
