Title: Sprained ankle
Post by: Golem on March 11, 2016, 09:34:34 am
First time I ever got one, how long does it heal?

which ligament is torn?  is it torn in the middle or at the bone, or did it tear out a piece of bone?

I actually had my ankle broken (just a tiny bit of bone ripped off the malleolus, so only Weber A) when I thought it was just a sprain. It didn't even hurt. If the swelling doesn't go away soon visit a doctor and get it x-rayed.

Nah, it's not that bad, guys. Just the outer part of the ankle is a little swollen and red and yesterday I had a vein-like thing pop out of my foot on that spot, about 2 hours after it happened.
Only thing that worries me, is that there seems to be a small tear, where the ankle is connected to the lower calf. But not actually achilles, just the muscle on the right side of my right foot on my lower calf.
I won't go to the doctor unless necessary, I've had very bad experiences with'em.

just go to doctor, there always can be some mini injury that will rek you later if you dont treat it properly.

Are you shitting me? This is the first time ever in your life that you've sprained your ankle? Do you do absolutely ZERO physical activity up until this point? How do you get through this much of your life with only one sprained ankle? I don't understand!

Are you shitting me? This is the first time ever in your life that you've sprained your ankle? Do you do absolutely ZERO physical activity up until this point? How do you get through this much of your life with only one sprained ankle? I don't understand!

I am usually very careful with my movement, that's one reason. Also, I've been pretty fit up until like two years ago, when I stopped most of my physical activity, quit playing football etc. and became sit-behind-PC-every-chance-I-get-person with the run-with-my-dog twice a day regiment. Yesterday, I took a free MMA training to try it out and hurt my ankle, while doing those backward rolls where you extend your feet and stand on your hands mid-roll. Tumbled down like a log, under my own weight and landed with a lot of force on the balls of my right foot.
So, yeah the reason I never sprained my ankle before is because I am not a clumsy bitch, this time being an exception. But hey! Atleast, I know I need to work on my upperbody strength, so it's not too bad!

Anyway, I continued the session, like nothing happened, which probably wasn't the best idea.
Title: Re: Sprained ankle
Post by: Bronto on March 11, 2016, 12:00:46 pm
Ice it, elevate it, and if the swelling doesn't go down, go see a doctor. It might be a good idea to wrap it too if you have to do any far walking or anything like that, just to keep it stabilized. If it's just a sprain you'll be fine. Sorry to sound so cynical, I just always find it amusing when people seek medical advice on this shit forum. Wasn't sure if you were trolling or nah.
Title: Re: Sprained ankle
Post by: Golem on March 11, 2016, 12:10:01 pm
While not trolling, I realise this is the last forum to look to for medical advice.  :lol:

I'm just trying to start a discussion about injuries, really. And I thought this would be a good starting point.
Seriously, though, I never had an injured joint or bone, other than this time, one time when stabbed a flying basketball with my finger and a work related injury, where I almost lost my thumb, but escaped with a splintered bone and without my nail. Not counting all the times I hit my shin or elbow on stuff, but never broke anything...

Do you have some ghastly injuries on your list, Bronto?
Title: Re: Sprained ankle
Post by: Bronto on March 11, 2016, 12:55:17 pm
I'm not even joking but I broke my middle finger once during a fight. Both bones in my left forearm doing stupid bike tricks and i hit the edge of a curb. Fucked my knee up playing basketball in high school and had to have surgery on it. I've had stitches in my elbow from hitting the pavement too hard and had to have rocks removed from it. I almost cut my finger off on a table saw and shaved my knuckle to the bone using a disk sander. I guess I was just accident prone or wreck less when I was younger. Luckily the last injury I suffered was a cracked rib and that was about seven or eight years ago when I used to do kickboxing. I've just participated in about every sport I could growing up, BMX and skateboarding were popular in the late 90's early 2000's, and loved to fight.

Hah, actually happened to me for the first time a couple of weeks ago as well. Was out running and somehow managed to twist myself jumping over something, hurt like hell but ran home. Day after could hardly get on my shoe but limped to the office anyway. Worst swelling got down after 2-3 days. Some weeks later now, still a bit wobbly and hurts when I do some movement.

Figure it wasn't worth going to the hospital unless it actually became worse. At the point now where it doesn't seem to be getting any better, might go now to see if there's any permanent damage that needs fixing that time won't heal. But yeah.. Getting  old I guess.

Are you shitting me? This is the first time ever in your life that you've sprained your ankle? Do you do absolutely ZERO physical activity up until this point? How do you get through this much of your life with only one sprained ankle? I don't understand!

To be fair, I've never had a sprained ankle either, and I've led a very active lifestyle until only recently. I often joke that I made it through life unscathed while being so clumsy due to my ninja-fast reflexes. I'm like a cat, if I trip on a root while jogging through the woods, I'll automatically do a quadruple handspring into a backflip while somersaulting just to land on my feet and keep going like nothing happened.  8-)

Nah but seriously I no doubt had a sprained ankle at some point in time. I used to hurt my ankles real bad from soccer all the time, but never did it hurt badly enough to justify a visit to the doctors. Could be the same in many peoples' cases. Also never broke any bones (unless you count bending the cartilage in your nose out of place) cuz I drank my milk as a kid, sounds like you didn't, yah pleb.

Now that I experimented with tongue positions, it must have been that you bit your tongue through with your canine and then pulled it in real fast. Or maybe your teeth were falling at the time and you had like one tooth in the middle with spaces on either side, yeah that seems probable.  :mrgreen:

Pretty fucking stupid though that they tell first-timers to do shit like that though, there are about a dozen ways to get injured doing such a move for someone who is untrained and uncoördinated.

I know, but there was nothing stoping me from not trying it, so I guess it's my fault. Should have stuck with simple backrolls.
Anyway, the ankle is itching already, so I guess it's stabilised and started healing. I was also a bit worried that it would turn blue and all sorts of colours, but it's just red from blood flow rather than ruptured veins, so it's not too bad.

Never give up man. Bones heal and chicks dig scars.

I'm older now, and have kids, so time to watch them do the sports. The only things I still do are weight lifting, and yoga. I would love to get back into kickboxing but my wife isn't so keen on the idea. I'm 33, my kids are 6 and 3, my wife doesn't want me to get seriously hurt, so I gotta respect her wishes.
"Seriously hurt"? Being a hobbyist kickboxer isn't gonna get get you seriously hurt any more than yoga will.

Are you shitting me? This is the first time ever in your life that you've sprained your ankle? Do you do absolutely ZERO physical activity up until this point? How do you get through this much of your life with only one sprained ankle? I don't understand!
As for this, you won't sprain your ankle if you have fast reflexes and good body control. Bonus points if you don't weigh more than a dinosaur. Every time I've landed on my ankle I've been able to take my weight off it before any damage's been done.

Xant I was an amateur fighter mmmmk, not a point sparring dweeb. I did this for about 4 years from 20 to 24. Last time i checked WAKO was full contact. So blow it out your ass mate.
Who cares what you were? Did you tell your wife "honey, I want to time travel back to when I was 20 and do the exact same things" and she said "no, what if you get injured"? Did you know you don't have to compete in kickboxing if you're so scared of getting seriously hurt? And even disregarding that, how many people in WAKO get "seriously hurt"?

It matters not. What matters is that I did it and you didn't and yet you still judge me from the comfort of your keyboard. Again, blow it out your ass mate. You clearly think you're a superior specimen so enlighten me. What have you done to gain such knowledge of my experience? Are or were you a pro fighter? Have you been punched or kicked repeatedly in full contact sports? Are you a doctor?

You did what? What are you talking about? What does any of this have to do with you starting kickboxing again and not competing if you're scared of getting hurt?

It's pretty obvious that you were punched in the head a time or two too many, though. Lesson there, kids. Defense is the first thing you should learn.

Damn I thought I was special when you were responding to me. I see you just like to argue and shit on threads. 33 is old? Using your SO as a excuse? Lol, damn dude. Where does your husband keep your balls when not in his mouth? Have some self worth and put some Ben gey on your vag and man the fuck up.

To op. RICE. Rest, ice, compress, elevate. I know a thing or two about injuries and not because I'm a tough pro mma fighter. Take it light though and don't come back too quick. If not properly rehab you will be prone to more ankle rolls in the future.

Update: Didn't do anything to the ankle other than careful walking around and mobility exercises, also testing stability standing on one foot, but the pain wouldn't let me stand on the balls of my foot. Anyway, today there is almost no swelling compared to yesterday and most of the pain is gone, aswell. What is hurting now, are all the muscles that got engaged 3 days ago, but that's probably, cause the body is focused on the ankle and should be gone shortly.

Oh dude, there's no question or persuasion needed at this point in my life. I can do what I want and she'd support me. I just have more responsibility to my kids and work and not much free time. The time I have is more enjoyable spending it with family and friends. I enjoyed competing but it's no longer the focus of my life and I'm good with that. Gotta raise my own little warriors now!

That's pretty easy to say for someone below 1.7m and 60kg. Furthermore doing lots of sports leads to being in pretty uncontrollable situations like landing on someone's foot after blocking (and thus having to look up) from time to time.

I'm pretty sure the sentence wasn't that complicated, and people above 1.7m and 60kg would manage to say it easily enough as well, albeit with practice. I don't know how "uncontrollable situations" have anything to do with anything. You're always in position to shift weight away from your ankle, no matter the circumstances. I'm not sure what having to look up has to do with anything either, us normal people can control our feet without looking at them.
Title: Re: Sprained ankle
Post by: Golem on March 13, 2016, 01:28:54 pm
Can confirm. I've been 170+ cm 60+ kg, since 15 years old and never had an sprained ankle due to reflexes. But it also comes down to footwear. If you have a weak ankle and a thick sole you're in trouble, if you want to run in a forest or over rocks. Minimalist shoes might not give you ankle protection, but atleast they make your ankle stronger.
Wouldn't say that there is always a chance to shift weight Xant. When this happened to me, my other leg was still somewhere above the rest of my body, that's just poor coordination on my part, though. All I could do was brace and try to spread the force on impact, which I apparently did quite well, as I can hop around, on the hurt leg, today, without much pain.

Confirmed that Xant is in fact the ultimate keyboard warrior who knows more about the real world than the people actually getting up and about and you know, doing these things.

Rofl dude, getting up out of you desk chair doesn't count as a "landing" just because you weigh more than a dinosaur. We active people are talking about actual physical activity here; you know things like running around the great outdoors or playing full-contact sports where you will in fact, not have complete control over where your feet are planted 100% of the time, despite what your reddit and 4chan boards will try and tell you.

If your other leg is in the air, or if you're falling on your ankle really badly, you can always just drop down on the ground in a push up position.

Which I did you moron, but guess what, the other leg didn't catch up, so I swung like a pendulum and landed on only one of my feet, twisting it in the process, because I don't know, it was actually better than breaking my bones?

What? How can you land on one of your feet if you're trying to fall on your hands? Just how uncoordinated are you?

You're an idiot. I had my hands on the ground, trying to do a handstand from backwards roll, but my speed was too great and I didn't manage to stop my right leg, which came crashing to the ground, whereas my left leg stayed up.

A sprained ankle is a very common injury for teens — athletes and non-athletes alike.

Sprained ankles are a common injury in both athletes and sedentary persons. For every tennis player, runner or aerobics dancer that feels the unexpected and painful roll when they are out exercising, there’s a less active individual whose ankle unexpectedly twists under them while they are going down the steps to retrieve mail from the mailbox, or while walking out to their car.

Yeah, sprained ankles are common, bud, that's why they're one of the most common "sports injuries" too.

And? The gif I posted above is of an athlete who is not athletic. That is the case in the majority of cases. Kids playing soccer doesn't automagically turn them into athletic, well coordinated specimen.

Checked one of your links at random, and:

Many people play sports in some way or another, whether they are playing for fun in their backyard or competitively on a team.

Yeah, such athletes, playing something in their backyard. Of course they'll sprain their ankles.

Only time when I hurt my ankle was when I was playing basketball outside. Was dribbling backwards and just when I was to attempt jump shot at same moment I've stepped on a stone behind me (haven't seen that shit when we started playing), lost balance and in attempt not to fall on my back I've landed on one leg with my whole weight. Nothing broken, but ankle was badly bruised. Not sure how would Xant act in such situation, but I'm willing to hear.

Xant's condensed POV!


Quote from: Xant
I do fighting sport since I was six years old.
My father's done martial arts for 50 years, so he gave me a choice when I was six.
You won't sprain your ankle if you have fast reflexes and good body control. Bonus points if you don't weigh more than a dinosaur.
I'm above 1.7m and 60kg and manage easily enough, albeit with practice.
Every time I've landed on my ankle I've been able to take my weight off it before any damage's been done, because I am an athletic, well coordinated specimen.
You're uncoordinated which led to your ankle being sprained.

Mad coz bad.

Ukemi in every direction come as naturally as breathing to me, thanks to Judo since I was six. I would've simply done either a soft or a hard backwards ukemi.

Concrete with chance of stones lying around, and you would roll your back over it? You know, it is better to hurt your legs than mess up your spine. Bones in your legs will heal over time but if you fuck up your spine in the wrong way, it is all over for lifetime. It isn't very well protected, you know. What's worse, severe spine injury can also mean you won't need legs anymore.

Street basketball. And I've played in worse places. At one spot, neighbors were pissed off because we were making noise and placed barbed wire around the rim and hid it pretty well. It wasn't proper sized so we kids could "dunk" on it. Because we used to play often there we didn't bother to check the basket and I went for a dunk and... it hurt like hell. It wasn't military grade barbed wire, it was more improvised version of it so my hands are still with me but don't want anyone to go through that shit. Very painful, couldn't play for couple of weeks since that incidents. Or use my hands for anything for couple days...

I am not uncoordinated you fool, I didn't mean for the leg to go down, the muscles just gave up! It's true I am weak in my upper body, but I am not uncoordinated, goddamnit! Can prove it to you right now, EU3 lets go, 1lp! Oh wait, you're not Xesta, I always get you confused, my offer stands, though.
