Grade 3 Ankle Sprain Symptoms
A grade 3 ankle sprain is the most severe and serious of the 3 different grades of sprained ankle. It can mean significant tearing or possibly a complete rupture of the ligaments in the ankle.
If you have a grade 3 sprain, the first thing you should do is get an x-ray to make sure you don’t have a fracture. If you do, your doctor will explain to you that the ankle will have to be immobilized for a while until the break heals. If there is no break, then you should begin a healing rehab program as soon as possible to repair the damage and get back to full health.
To begin, let’s cover the main symptoms of a grade 3 ankle sprain:
- Complete tearing or rupture of ankle ligaments
- Ankle is extremely unstable
- Tremendous amount of pain, bruising and swelling
- It will be difficult or impossible to put any pressure on that foot (i.e.inability to walk)
- Extremely difficult to move the ankle at all without pain
Grade 3 Ankle Sprain Treatment
The most important thing to remember is that a grade 3 ankle sprain will not heal itself. There will be a lot of damage and if you do not proactively heal your ankle, it can stay weak and painful for years, or even life. There is a lot of research now suggesting that just one sprained ankle can have a significant impact on your overall movement if not fully healed. And since a grade 3 sprain is the most serious, it puts you at even greater risk for long term issues.
Remember, your ankle is the base of ALL your movement, so it is critical to heal it correctly to make sure your ankle and other joints work properly. And so, an ankle rehab program is the best bet to ensure a safe, healthy and full recovery.
In the beginning, you will need to take things very slowly and gently. There’s a lot of damage in the ankle and it will take some time to repair it. Even the slightest movement in the wrong direction can cause a significant amount of pain. One of the most important first steps is to try and get the ankle to relax a little bit. So, make sure your ankle is in a comfortable position for most of the day.
And, as a general note, we strongly recommend avoiding ice, unless otherwise suggested by your physician. A lot of research has recently come out showing that ice is great as a short term pain reliever, but terrible for healing your ankle.
It stops the flow of immune cells as well as shutting off lymphatic drainage. In other words, it slows down and can even stop the healing process, which can prolong your injury by weeks, months or even years. If you want to learn more about ice, please click here
The SECRET to Healing Fast… Great Ankle Rehab
Here’s what we recommend to heal a grade 3 ankle sprain fully and quickly… Most importantly, you need a first rate ankle rehab program that does the following:
- Remove swelling from the ankle by improving lymphatic drainage
- Improve the flow of the first wave of healthy immune cells to remove waste
- Encourage a second wave of immune cells to repair and regenerate healthy tissue
- Reduce pain VERY quickly so you can move your ankle safely
- Dramatically improve ankle stability for safe movement
- Dramatically improve ankle strength for overall protection
- Dramatically improve ankle mobility for healthy range of motion in the ankle joint
- Dramatically improve balance, coordination and agility for increased athletic performance
- Dramatically improve the ability to generate power in the ankles and calves
- Dramatically decrease the risk of re-injury without ankle braces, wrap or tape

If you want to heal your ankle fully & fast…
And get back to doing what you love PAIN-FREE, without the fear of re-injury…
This will be the most important thing you ever do for yourself.
Here’s why:
My name is Scott Malin and fifteen years ago, I had to give up what I love… playing basketball. It literally crushed me to give it up!!
But, I had sprained my ankles so many times that I could no longer play.
Every time it happened, I used R.I.C.E. (rest, ice elevation, compression), but my ankles took months to heal and just kept getting weaker and more painful.
I tried everything, including ankle braces, but they made my ankles even weaker and then my knees started hurting too!
When I sprained my ankle one last time and had to crawl off the court, I knew I was done.
That night, I sat in my apartment and cried.
I was in my early thirties and thought I had to give up what I loved for the rest of my life.
But, I had no other option…
My ankles were just way too weak, stiff and unstable and painkillers/ice did nothing anymore.
As I lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, I remembered back to when I trained with a clinician for the National Academy of Sports Medicine and Soft Tissue Therapist for the Los Angeles Clippers.
I also thought about a revolutionary Naturopath that taught me so much about healing the body naturally.
Then, I came up with a crazy idea…
It instantly improved how my ankle felt.
And the more I did it, the better my ankle got.
By day 6, my ankle was 100% pain-free and felt stronger and more stable than BEFORE I got injured.
The best part… I PLAYED BASKETBALL AGAIN, BUT THERE WAS NO PAIN!!
Afterward, I cried again, but they were tears of joy!!
When I told them what I did, my basketball buddies laughed and said I was crazy.
They called me a “dreamer”.
But, I didn’t care.
Because I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.
I threw my ankle braces away.
After months of late nights, early mornings, and lots of trial and error…
I created a complete, at-home healing system with incredibly reliable results:
- Heals new ankle injuries including ANY type and grade of ankle sprain.
- Heals old ankle injuries that never fully healed.
- Heals weak and unstable ankles.
- Even heals most Achilles, calf and foot injuries!
Since I was a fitness trainer, I was able to help all my clients (celebrities and athletes) whenever they got injured (which happened a lot!).
I was even on the news a few times!!!
The response from my clients was so overwhelming that a few of them eventually convinced me to make it available to everyone.
And even though it is incredibly complete, I always wanted to keep it SUPER simple and easy to do.
So, just follow along with me on any device and that’s it!
You get instant access to all the videos, which are short and focused on quickly giving you the information you need.
I will show you the absolute BEST rehab techniques, exercises, stretches, activations, holistic techniques, prehab techniques, etc….
These are techniques you will NOT find online anywhere else.
You will learn the perfect form for everything to get the best possible results.
It has taken many years of incredibly hard and dedicated work, but I am so humbled that over 100,000 people have healed themselves fully and fast with my program.
If you don’t believe me, please, check out all the reviews, including video testimonials, before and after pictures, etc. from people of all ages.
And listen, I know you’re probably still skeptical. That’s totally fair…
That’s why we have a very simple, no hassle, 30 day money back guarantee, so it’s completely risk-free to give it a try right now.
I created this program, because I don’t want others to go through all the pain and misery that I did!!
I don’t want anyone else to give up what they love…
Life is too short!!!
And now, there’s an easy way you can heal yourself and get back to your life.
I wish you all the best and thank you!!

Just got your videos for the holistic rehab the other day. It has already helped and I am so grateful as I know Drs want to cut you open and ask questions later. My left ankle is very badly sprained, completely black and purple and swollen half way up my calf. I am an athlete and have zero intentions of being cut on now or in the future! It was a major eversion off a curb and I just want it to get back to normal. Thanks so much for putting this HEM ankle rehab together, it's a godsend! Have a beautiful day.
Warm regards,

Hey there,
I literally purchased this program about 20 minutes ago, and now having gotten partially through the videos... The content is already blowing my mind and I feel like this will be information I'll carry with me the rest of my life... Thank you for this info! Clearly you are a master of PT.
Hello Mr. Malin,
I want to thank you for this website. In the end of november, I sprained my ankle and my doctor said that there is an avulsion fracture in my ankle(ATFL). I had really hard times after this incident. When I was looking for how to heal fast, I saw your website. I tried to do as much as different exercises that you showed. Now I face some difficulties during my daily life due to my foot but swelling is decreasing everyday thanks to exercises. Especially, the video about how to activate ankle is very beneficial for me.
Thanks for your support both mentally and physically.
Sincerely,
Orhun Oktar, Electrical and Electronics Engineer
Your program is great. I actually broke one ankle and sprained the other. I just got the cast off and will begin rehab on that ankle now.
I bought your Hem Ankle program in 2018 and used it very successfully with THREE ankle injuries. I am also interested to buy the programme for knees etc.
