Surgical Tape Micropore
Sports Injury Question: Is Pre wrap strong enough to stabilize my ankle or should I go with tape?
…or should I go with Andover Powerflex Sports Tape (sorry for the name brand) to increase my ankle’s stability and comfort. Right now I alternate between taping with 2″ micropore surgical tape and a lace-up/figure 8 strapped ASO Ankle Brace to keep my junk in place while cycling and working.
I had a bad sprain in February and it seems there is some ligament or tendon damage that continues to persist. 
Oh, and no, I haven’t the money to get a scan of my ankle due to a lack of medical coverage.
Look you really need an x-ray it could be a small fracture. Please try asking friends, parents, etc for the money. Give it as much support as possible, put it up, experiment with ice/heat (not for too long though), etc
