Ironberg Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 I sprang my ankle yesterday doing a 360 side kick to the swinging bag. I miscalculated and struck it hard with the ball of my foot instead of my heel - causing my foot to bend forwards really far. Fortunately it could have been much worse. Though it's healing rapidly I'll miss out on sparring some new people tomorrow. Oh well, there's always next week. I've been icing it and slowely moving it. Alot of people tell you to leave the joint alone that has been hurt. With my experience, slowely streatching it back to painless range of motion seems to help a great deal. I can actually walk on it again 30 hours later without much of a limp thanks to my slow stretching. Any thoughts?

WhiteBelt Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Rest, rest, and more rest for that sprained ankle. Don't spar unless it's in in a video game...
Ironberg Posted June 12, 2004 Author Posted June 12, 2004 I'm finding it funny how the more joint injuries I recieve - the quicklier they heal. Third day of healing and I can see one of my ankle bones again! Yesterday, I helped a newwer guy by doing hand-sparring and head-locking drills. I can walk again at a steady pace.

Rich_2k3 Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 I find that may left leg clicks at the hip when I lift it and then turn it 90 degress, it feels really horrible and like its doing damage, its been doing this for months, I think I pulled it a while ago, i suppose its one of these things that takes ages to go...
