What can I use to support my ankle?

I often have problems with my ankle’s and I cant even walk around a store for more then 10 minites before my feet and ankle start burning and aching. I do have a pin and plate in my left ankle but dont think thats my problem cause the pains in both feet. So should I have some special ankle support things? I have an ankle brace thingy but doesnt do much. Also about a week ago I was walking with my fiance and I almost twisted my ankle and fell off the side walk,right now the pains mostly in my left foot but this pains been going on for about a month now when ever im walking.

Answer #1

yeah I have something like that. I have 2,1 that slips on over my foot and 1 that has the 2 metal clasps thingys. either 1 dont do much and tylenol does nothing. pain isnt all the time but only when im walking around. so I mainly need something to help prevent the pain.

Answer #2

Well besides taking tylenol to cut the pain, you can buy like athletic tape from Wal*Mart and wrap it around your ankle and halfway towards your foot. the wrap that with a different kind of athletic tape (its tan and kinds stretchy, a lil sheer) then put the ankle brace on. Hope this helps you
