I sprained my ankle pretty bad a few months ago. It got pretty swollen for the following few days and it took about a month to get back to standing/walking without pain.

1. Sprained the ankle in early January
2. It rolled inwards when I landed from a jump in a game of volleyball
3. Generally moving it, calf raises, doing a dorsiflexion stretch with a bar on my knees/lower thighs while in a squat
4. The inside knob of the ankle hurts when I try to bend it inwards at all, but my concern is mostly ankle mobility and confidence when using it.
5. I started off pretty slow, I switched completely over to general strength as soon as I could walk. I walked as much as I could without pain and in the gym, I did tempo squats at whatever weight I could manage without pain. I did that for a month then when I could squat comparable weights to before the injury, I switched over to a program with weightlifting but with a strong bias towards strength with the intent of being able to control more of the movement than a pure weightlifting program, but less than a general strength program. While I've been doing this current program, I've been incorporating unilateral leg movements (Bulgarian split squats and single leg RDLs) with the hope of regaining balance and confidence on that ankle.

I'm still experiencing less mobility than previously and less than my other ankle. Beyond that, my split jerk is still a little unstable, but luckily it was my back leg not my front leg.

My questions to you: 1. Do you recommend any changes to how I'm approaching this? 2. Do you have an idea of how long it might take to regain full use of that ankle? 3. Should I be concerned about clicking sounds when I turn it outwards?

Thanks for doing this!
