Shay415 Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 For awhile know the area around my ankles always ache when I jump rope, and most the time in class, I have no clue why. Anyway got any ideas? Made in Thailand.
Thai_Kick Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 You have weak ankles, it's not a big problem many people do. You should buy ankle wrap or an ankle brace, this will give support to the ankle and stop the ache and weak feeling. Limits Are Not Accepted. They Are Elbowed, Kicked And Punched.
KickChick Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Yes, it may just be a case of weak ankles or you may have tight ligaments, It's a condition called supinating or Morton's foot. The foot tends to land on the outside and predisposes the ankle to turn out over the foot. This could lead to the possibility of an ankle sprains or tear. You can strengthen your ankles by doing toe raises and heel drops, alternating them until your ankle is fatigued. Each exercises should be done to the point of total muscle fatigue, so that you can't do even one more.Balancing is important in strengthening ankles to sense where the foot is in relation to the ground. Practice by balancing on one foot with your arms stretched out to the sides until you lose balance or become fatigued ...then do this exercise with your eyes closed.
Shay415 Posted October 24, 2002 Author Posted October 24, 2002 I might have weak ankles, but im a pretty big strong guy, i'm 5'10 160, i do alot of ankle stretches and i already wear those ankle wraps , but im going to do more, and should i go see a dr? and if i shuld, what type of doctor? because i am afraid maybe something more serious could be wrong, because i spar all the time too in muay thai. Anyway thx guys for the 411. Made in Thailand.
KickChick Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Well, if you are properly warming up, and stretching (including ankle rotations etc.) and you have no history of any predisposed ankle tears or sprains then it is wise for you to consult a "foot" doctor!
Shay415 Posted October 25, 2002 Author Posted October 25, 2002 Thx Again for the info kickchick. Peace. Made in Thailand.
muaythaiposer Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 always check your history on why and how your ankle hurts. this may be a sprain, or a microfracture. was there a particular incident of trauma? get it checked by a podiatrist asap..seems like this pain has been going on for a while...
rabid hamster Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 sometimes when im running or jumping and i land suddenly i get this really stining pain in my ankles that go away pretty fast. does anyone know what it is? It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye.
KickChick Posted October 28, 2002 Posted October 28, 2002 This occurs when the nerves in the area of the ankle are stretched, causing a temporary numbness, sharp stinging pain, and usually goes away on its own.
rabid hamster Posted October 29, 2002 Posted October 29, 2002 oh... so i suppose there is no way to prevent this? is it harmful, it never happened until a month or two ago. It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye.
