I’ve always felt that walking on a sprain or just slowly moving my ankle sometimes hurt worse than actually playing a sport.

Is there anything to that? Or just me?

Definitely not an expert on the subject.

I think it's just you...

I've had a few pretty good ankle sprains and straightforward movements like walking had little/no impact on it. Then if I tried to cut/turn on it, that was extremely uncomfortable. And if I mis-stepped and rolled it a bit it was like lightning in my leg.

That's really my biggest issue. In a football game there WILL be times that someone hits that ankle or he toe-picks it or just gets knocked over and puts it out there to brace on instinct.

And man, that shit is going to HURT. And it's gonna take a bit for that pain to work itself down to a dull roar.

I have no question that it will be sound enough to play on and even push off of. But when the bullets start to fly it will be inevitable that shit happens to it that hurt like a MFer. And as tough as he is, he ain't immune to it.
