It has been 4 weeks and the ankle is still slightly swollen but with no pain. I have played some pickup games in an ankle brace with no pain but it feels week because of 4 weeks of nothing. The PT people say i need 6 weeks of rest and 2 rehab weeks before I play.
My question is: As long as I feel no pain, is it alright for me to start playing in a brace or is it setting my recovery time back?
