Ankle Injury
I injured my ankle and have been under a doctor's care from April 4 until the first week in July. It was ruled either just a really bad contusion or a small fracture. It is doing really well, but I have a question. It feels "funny" still sometimes. I am not sure I can explain it. Sometimes it feels like there is a little rubber band that isn't quite in the right place right across that little part of the bone that sticks out. I have gone back to exercising it a little and icing it when it feels that way. Will it ever feel the same again? When?

My daughter sprained her ankle badly about 5 years ago. She actually had a cast and physical therapy afterwards. Her experience has been that she still has some stiffness and swelling at times in that ankle.
It has only been 3 months since your injury. I think in your case it will probably get back to normal but it may take a few years.
The tightness you feel is probably from the muscles that haven't been used while it was healing. Exercising is probably the best thing. Just don't over-do it and make it feel worse.
This is all just an educated guess, though. You may want to check with your doctor or an orthopedic nurse.
