hyperlax ligemants
(4 discussions)
i have hyperlax ligaments in both feet and ankles. The orthopaedic surgeon has said that I can start playing football, hockey and netball when i’m able to find suitable boots high enough to support my ankles. i’ve been unable to find suitable footware and am now looking into using some kind of ankle braces. I’m a 12 year old girl, i’m 5ft 8inches tall and take a size 9 in nike footware. PLEASE CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME ADVICE?
Thank you p.s I have swelling around the lateral malleolus and lateral collateral ligemants

thank you. I skould have mentoined that I wear an ankle support all day wether playing sport or not, what I need is a stronger, more supportive one for whilst doing sport.

thank you for this advice but we’ve been told that insoles will not help my problem. What I need is ankle supports to prevent any movement which would cause any further damage to my ligaments

thank you for this advice, but what should I wear whilst playing sport?

You have not mentioned what kind of ankle brace you are wearing at this time. There are many different types of these braces.
