Hello,
As this indicates that you have a joint instability and ligament is already torn. I will advise you to stabilize the ankle Frist so by which you won't be allowing the joint to become more unstable. Using crepe bandage or ankle brace is advised. Also, if left without stabilizing then the joint may undergo faster degenerative changes and lead to Osteoarthritis. So better to stabilize. Later you can take help of a Physiotherapist who can help you with ankle stabilization exercises since the ligament is torn and now muscles have to take up the role to stabilize the ankle joint.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
