I've always had weak ankles from playing a ton of basketball.
So, yesterday I took a bad step and barely rolled my ankle. Its a little tender, but I can walk on it like normal, and its not swollen today or anything. I iced it last night and took Ibuprofen for any swelling ect...Today, I've been flexing the ankle up and down, making circles, ect...to see if it hurts at all and seems fine.
Question, I have a game tonight. Would it be a good idea to wear a brace as a precaution for the game since I don't know how its going to react to actually planting and running around the bases?
I don't normally wear a brace and my cleats are mid-top, so they have some support, I just don't want to go up, get a hit, take off to run and then all of sudden feel that twinge that I didn't know was there....
