level 2 ankle sprain....how long before I can return to competition?

Posted by douglas

Sprained my ankle in January and again 2 weeks ago.  Level 2 sprain.  Is healed but told I have weak ankles and currently doing exercises to strengthen.  I wear ASO ankle braces and want to return to Basketball.  Was told I could hurt my knee or hurt ACL.  Is  this true?  I would think if it is healed the only way to strenghten is to use it.  not baby my ankle.  What is your opinion?
