Because so much of your weight rests upon your ankles, an ankle injury, such as an ankle sprain, can be tough to make a full recovery from. As someone who has to deal with weak ankles and has been plagued by ankle injuries for years, I understand the difficulty associated with getting back on your feet again after a sprain, strain, or break.
