Frequent Ankle twisting during runing or fast movment

Hello, My ankle twist at least 5 times a month. But lately it has been worse. And has twisted at least 3 times on yesterday. It usually twist during running. Or walking to fast..It hurts soo bad I have to take a long pause and I begin to limp walk for at least 6minutes. It feels like a pull, twist, or a sprung. "Is my bones weak?? Or is this a seriuos cause??

   My guess is that you are not allowing yourself to heal between runs.  Thus its easier to re injure yourself.  Make sure you have good running shoes with support.  Try to stay on even ground.  Ice after any sprain.  take an anti-inflammatory (like advil).  You can buy very good easy to run in braces.  Get the kind that lace up or have 4 wraps that extend around your foot.  You will probably have to go to a good  sporting good store to find this.  Give yourself some time to heal.

Hello,
Is it always the same ankle?  Have you tried wearing a brace to see if it helps?  If it's always the same ankle and seems to be getting worse, I would suggest going to see a doctor.
