Default Ankle Injury: Anyone had something similar?

Just a quick question:

I've had a nagging ankle injury for the last few months, hurt it playing soccer. I've had several serious ankle sprains over the years, and this is the most recent and severe version.

The physiotherapist said that it is my "talus" that is hampering my range of motion and causing pain in the joint. I've had an xray and there is nothing wrong with the bones (fractures or breaks), but there is still pain in the joint and a lack of range of motion. I've been told that if I don't get full ROM back I could do lasting damaeg to the joint and cause it to arthriticize.

Has anyone had a similar injury, and if so how long did it take to get back to where you could resume regular sports activities and what did you do to rehab it? I'm going on 5 months without being able to play at the moment, still going to physio and stretching the area constantly.

Thanks.
