Would an ankle support/brace help a weak, quite painful ankle?

The best way to help a weak ankle is to strengthen it. The easiest way to do this is to hold your foot a few inches above the floor and rotate your foot from the ankle first one way, then the other. Do about 10 rotations per direction, on each foot. If you do this 2-3 times a day, every day, your ankle will soon get stronger.

Thankyou for that advice MuirDragonne. Will try those exercises.
