Answer 1

In your ankle there are a bunch of bones that connect your leg to your foot. These ankle bones are kept together by a bunch of ligaments. Ligaments are like a thick rubber band, a little bit stretchy but have limits. When you sprain your ankle, you over stretch the ligaments in your ankle.
