It hurt so bad i started crying. I tried to walk on it and every time I took a step, the muscle (sorry! I'm a terrible speller!) in my ankle pulled really painfully. I didn't do anything about it at first, but I only served the rest of practice. When I woke up this morning my ankle was good enough to where i could put pressure on it, but it still hurt when I tried to walk or do certain movements. My dad went out and got me an ankle brace (it's like a really heavy duty ace wrap, but it is still considered a brace) and some athletic tape. A website that I read said that I should tape my ankle and then put the brace on if I am going to play volleyball. I have a travel team try-out tommarow and I need to put my best effort forward, but I might have a hard time doing that if my ankle is still sore. Also, the brace doesn't quiet fit in my shoe! Any advise??? Last night at my volleyball practice I stepped wrong and my ankle gave-way and i heard a horrible crack. It hurt so bad i started crying.

For example, most manufactures of ankle braces claim to offer better support or protection than the other product. Are they really all that different? No. More are very similar and do just about the exact same thing. It is all in how you use the ankle brace and when you use it. For example, it makes a big difference if the laces are not tight. Check that. EVERY time you go out, you should have on your ankle brace. Until you are fully recovered. Take it easy for a few weeks so your ankles can heal. It really is that simple.
