[Nidan Melbourne]

Managed to stuff up my knee on monday night now i am out for a few months recovering. But sensei has kindly let me do teaching duties. Few at least i can keep my mind in the game[/u]

Ouch!! Sorry to hear that!!

Hang in there, and before you know it, you'll be rocking and rolling!!

Also, you have karateforums to visit while you get better.

[Hawkmoon]

ouch! take it easy Shodan melbourne, rest relax don't press the knee...you kind'a need that bit of your body all the time!

I'll add:

I managed to land badly last night on my ankle.

That's me out for at least a week!

Not done an ankle in for years...then past night ..over stretched the attack and POP!

I feel your pain, I ruptured my Achilles last year. 1 year before I could come back to MA. Get your rehab done and heal fast!

I'm healing faster than they expected. Cause of the rehab and of my experiences as an exercise physiologist

Well I could hardly walk yesterday let alone fight so rest was/is all I can do!

Frustrating as hell!

I'm already carrying two injuries this is a third I really do not want or need just now.

I need them all, but especially this one, to heal fast.

After training the other night I got home and strapped up and went to bed, with my foot propped up on some pillows.

Woke up, wrapped my ankle went to work (office duty) so only lite work and came home.

Lay down with ankle strapped up again and placed a massive bag of ice on top ....and after watching some TV fell asleep. Woke up later, with a very wet and cold foot..no pain! (oddly, can't think why! ) and went to bed.

Woke up to a foot I'm sure was not that color before

Strapped up, and can walk way better than yesterday and with way less pain!

I dunno maybe I'm crazy but a sprain seems so fake, but jeez the pain! With a broken ankle or something that is easier to accept to all at the least there is a visual 'q' for all to see!

I hate sprains with a vengeance!

I was the same (Ex phys was my college major), I healed faster/better than people much younger than myself, and was back running within 5ish months post surgery.

Still waited a year to come back to martial arts, they were worried about the landing on the toes on jump kicks being a major stressor on the calf.

Ruptured it on a jump/switch stance of all things, a move we teach to white belts their first week. How'd you bung yourself up?

I managed to do it in the awesome manner of hyperextension. It was during the warm up and we were running on the mats and i misstepped with my left foot (about to roll it) so i put my right leg out to compensate for it but my leg was completely locked and all my weight went through it.

Ouch ouch and ouch! I've seen ones like that, usually on a misstep running through a base. Take care of that, those can be nasty.

Will be very careful of it. saw my Physio yesterday and gave me the green light to start training again (albeit lightly) and start strength training at 30-40% of my 1RM for my legs.
