ankle problems

[lambodrifter]

I know this isnt a medical clinic but my ankle is drivin me crazy!! I sprained it like 2 months ago and it hasnt healed. Whenever i push, or land some kinda jump it hurts like crap and i have to go inside. I stayed off my board for a couple weeks right after i sprained it but no good. :eek:

[AZ_FIGHT!]

I have the same ankle problems.... Nothing you can do. I rolled mine a month and a half ago and its fine to walk on but cant jump off it or land on it.

[lambodrifter]

Will it heal???? :confused: :eek: :(

[XxnemisxX]

hmmm yeah itll probably heal cuz its not like its paralyzed or sumin and if it is.....YOUR SCREWED (yah gotta go to rehab for that i think)

[lambodrifter]

well its definatley not paralyzed i can move it lol

[jack_morris]

ive sprained my ankle loads of times, all you can do is wait, get some arnica gell or somthing like that because that will make it heel quicker, if you roll it again before it heels though ure pretty ****ed so i would wait

[edward]

ice the hell out of it. hippers, swellbows, ankles, knees and wrists whenever you slam on gaps or whatever ice them ALOT. just whenever at night for like 2 hrs, it heals alot faster.

yeah i fractured mine about 3 months ago? I just started skating like a month ago and fell f-ed it up again. stayed off of my board and now i feel a lil out of practice i hope it heals.

Dude, I sprainged my ankle too. I have this brace thing on it, and I have tried to skate because I didn't hurt anymore, but heelflips! Oh boy, catching those will shoot my ankle. I WANT TO SKATE SO *****NG BAD.

But everytime I do, my ankle starts to hurt again, it will swell up... then go down... then swell up again...

Hopefully I can just wait.

I sprained mine 2 months ago on a gap and it still hasn't healed completely. I'm going to give it an addition month and a half. The pain has slowly been going away. Yours should heal fine, just give it time.

ok, sounds like you lot could do with some help

ankles are very dodgy joints, they are not designed to roll in the way that skaters roll them (rolling forward, foot sliding off the end of the board, still moving forwards and then snappy snappy)

ok i have been working on the local skaters in milton keynes for the last 2 years (i am a physio) and they all know me in mk!! well i have treated pretty much all of them over the years lol

anyhows, its not easy to go into specifics as each ankle injury needs to be treated in relation to which ligament you have injured and then the site specific rehab can be given for you to get on with to make the ankles stong and unsprainable again (well unsprainable because they were screwed) cant promise you wont do them again ! lol

the best thing is to talk to you lot individually, msn me at silord@hotmail.com and then i can assess what the problem is and then prescribe the appropriate reahb to get them sorted

ohhhh nasty

[bleak]

Oh ****...yup, that happened to me... I sprained my ankle doing this mean bomb-drop(story for another time), it didn't heal in like 2 and a half months, and so my mom said go to the doctor and I did...he said no skateboarding for six months. But like he said it can take a few weeks to like a year for a sprained ankle to heal. And it don't really help if ya skate on it...but I did, and it healed...'til I sprained it again...

u prolly fractured it i fractured my rist and it was hurting for weeks !!! hehehe just as a notice ive rolled my ancle 7 times :P im getting used to it *doesent hurt as much* i musta killed all tha nurves there lol

[thelemon32]

i didn't sprain my ankle, but everytime i go out to skate it starts hurting from pushing. i'm still getting my ollies down so i'm not doing anything big involving landing. i'm really not sure why its hurting, maybe i hurt it without knowing? or is an ankle hurting natural for when you first start skating?
