I m trying to determine if I need to wear an ankle brace for pain and fatigue at the end of the day. There is quite a backstory with this ankle, so I ll try to be brief. When I was 10 years old I had surgery on my right ankle to treat tarsal coalition. I may have risked into recovery and didn t heal quite properly. Since the surgery I ve had much less pain and more mobility, but not much mobility. I m right handed and favor my right foot. I played soccer competitively most my life. So, I ve used it a lot. I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis when I was 14. HLA b27 positive. I wear relatively heavy work boots for my job, I m trying to determine how to help prevent the fatigue and stiffness. Ankle brace, sleeve, or not brace at all? I am 5 11 185lbs 30yo male
