How do I tell which grade ankle sprain I have?
Hi, I twisted my ankle yesterday and I didn't initially think much of it even though it was quite painful. When I woke up this morning, however, it was even more swollen and stiff. I can barely stand on it. I don't think it's broken, but it' still rather painful. This certainly isn't a light sprain, so what grade would it be?Asked a year ago

Why do basketball shoes have high tops?
I have seen other sports shoes with low tops, so why do basketball shoes need to be different? I have heard that high tops provide better ankle support, but is that really necessary so much more than other sports? I also wonder if high tops affect my mobility on the court. ThanksAsked 6 months ago
