July 2, 200521 yr I've been having some problems with my right ankle. I think I tore some ligaments and/or tendons on Tuesday. I talked to my doctor and my Instructor and they said I shouldn't train until I get an MRI done. The problem is, I had to get referred by my doctor to an orthopedic surgeon, to whom I go on Wednesday. Then he has to refer me for an MRI. Then I have to get an MRI done. Then I have to wait for the results.I do NOT want to get out of shape or gain weight. Does anyone know some good cardio I could do that will put minimal stress on my ankles and knees? I was thinking Aerodyne/Stationary Bike, but I'm not sure if that's safe.Tang Soo! Passion transcends pain.
July 2, 200521 yr Stationary bike will put alot of stress on your ankle. If you have access to a swimming pool laps can be done. Long Live the Fighters!
July 3, 200521 yr Yeah, swimming is the best thing for your ankle (keeping the weight off it). Fu sheng wu lian tianzun2nd Dan - Shaolin KempoDrunken Master's Classic Kung Fu Theater | DojoZen.com

If someone has a set of leg floats (Two styrofoam cylinders connected with straps), you can use those and just use your arms to swim with, the floats keep your legs up.Isn't too much else, everything else will put stress on the ankle in some form or another.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player
July 5, 200521 yr yeah, i agree with everyone else again.... Swimming is the only thing that comes to mind when ur not putting weight on your ankle
