Re bone density: I've been mostly chair bound for a long time, burn instantly in the sun if I'm not completely covered, and had a severe vitD deficiency, so it's something I have concerns with. I'm still in a relapse and not able to do weight training (which is great for bone density; I recommend the book "Strong Women Stay Young" by, I think, Miriam Nelson. I don't htink much of her diet recs, but the exercises for strengthening ones bones are wonderful.).
Since I'm not able to do that, last year I invested in a Bounceback Exercise Chair, which is also something that can greatly improve bone density.
It's certainly a possibility that you have loose ligaments in your ankle from the multiple sprains. Certain exercises do help; since I first started the Strong Women program, I've not sprained my ankle once, in 12 years. Previously it was a once a year or more occurrence.
