My ankle = no more ankle?!?!#&!@(&#%

[JustinCarter]

So ive been biking for 2 months , havnt got 180s down so i go to try em today. It starts snowing and the road gets wet. So i go lalala do some dont land em ( my foot always comes off )

So...i do this one and get over 180 to about 250. kinda like tiretap by accident and i fall. Then i feel this extcruationg ( slaughter that word ) pain in my right ankle, and i see its all in the triangle of the frame so i take the frame off of it. It was hurting so bad i almost bit a whole threw my sweater and gloves.

I cant walk but i can bend it slightly up and down. Its swollen. If i Move it from side to side IT KILLS.

I can kind of see like 2 lines in my skin near the ankle about 1 inch in length.. Do you think its broke or sprained?

If you can walk on it, it's probably just sprained.

Ankles are wierd they always feel broken right away, then they get really hot and hurt for a little bit, then swell up and you can't walk for a week then it's all the sudden better.

Go ride, just no tricks. That will help the blood flow better to the area and keep flexation good(it might hurt some). Eat alot of protien, it allows for faster healing. Last, ice it and elevate it at the same time(15min on 15min off) as often as you can to help pull fresh blood into the area faster.

Does compression work? Whenever my ankle swells up I tighten my ankle brace as tight as I can and duct tape it to keep riding. I know theres something called RICE. Rest, ice, compress?, elevate...

Lol, I did the same thing awhile ago. But, after the doc said it wasn't a break I went home and rode. I know from being a personal trainer that it could handle it...so I did it.

Ice and Ibuprofin :clap: That will help alot.

Yea thats it.

Compression works, but too tight causes a loss of blood flow to the joint(not good). I normaly use like foam or 2 socks and tape it up like you do for sports. Just tight enough for support. Meaning it still moves almost as well as untaped.

i have never broken or seriously sprained a part of my body in my life. closest i got to was slightly spraining my finger cus i was running around the house for no reason (when i was a kid lol) and i jammed my finger into the couch from running. lol

[Wildbill]

Yeah if it was broken it swell up alot and be black and blue/yellow. But an air cast would prob be real good for it.
