Injured

[Andrew]

Besides climbing I play basketball, unfortunatly I have found out over the years of playing basketball, that it is much more dangerous than climbing. Anyway the other day I severly sprained my ankle. This really sucks. Its not the pain and discomfort that bothers me its that I can't climb. At least I can still do some fingerboard work. Oh well this kind of crap happens.

Verbal that SUCKS! I'm sorry to hear it. If you see a doc, ask them to give you an Active Ankle brace. I was able to do quite a lot with that particular brace after I got off crutches when I messed up my ankle, and I tired a bunch of different braces first.

I hope you heal quickly!!

Shouldn't this be somewhere besides the suck forum?

I'm supposed to start rehab on my ankle next week. That is if I don't get jury duty. I go for jury selection monday and I'm supposed to start rehab on friday. Yea, ankle injuries suck.

I'm so sorry that you guys are hurt! At least it's not right in the middle of great weather. Get all better and get back on the rock. Please! I love you guys.....I'm very drunk! I'm very drunk! hee hee

Add BBerlier to the ankle list! He severely sprained it on Thursday running the problems for the ABS comp at Rockquest this Saturday. So his foot literally looks like a deadman's foot! It is swollen and black & blue, nasty! He has been really good at getting his range of motion back fast and he is not limping so much. It just pretty ugly looking at this point!

DIPSI! Damn you woman you were supposed to call me when it was time to drink!

Last summer I counted seven girls climbing (regularly) with sprained/broken ankles at my gym. You all must be guys.
