The ankle is still not back to optimum condition; particularly when I point the toes or on the very rare occasions when I wear heeled shoes which force the foot to extend, there is some soreness. This has occurred before, so I suspect that time is really all that is needed, but sprains do take a LONG time to heal fully.
