So... i've been bearing with this on and off pain in my ankle the past few months (*cough* maybe more *cough*) and it just comes and goes. It's like
the inside of my ankle dislocates, then i can't put any weight on that ankle... It will eventually get backinto place and it'sl ike nothing ever
happened. :smug: I decided i'm going to go see an orthopedic doctor cuz I want to make sure i get this bad boy fixed. UGH I hate it, but you know, if
I want to kite and board for a long time I better take care of this body... Be careful when landing on these jumps cuz I think I came down hard on a 6
foot jump or so and that's what caused it. I know i felt it crack but it didn't hurt too bad and i just walked it off. I did the good ol' "google
self-diagnose":

Be sure you redirect and have nice soft landings!
oh, and a quote:
" A history of a fall from height, a motor vehicle accident (particularly with the patient sitting in the front of the vehicle, where
contact with the floorboards is more likely), or a similar mechanism should suggest a possible injury to the hindfoot."

broke my ankle the other day, was sure it was just a bad sprain...
my advice is heal it well, and look into TRAUMEEL, its an anti inflamatory that has done wonders for me, get at health food stores
injuries to date, I am 31 years,
Broken femur, hip, shoulder, tibula, fibula, calcanious ( heel ) , various toes and fingers ,cracked ribs.. several lacerations and a few torn tendons
and ligaments... Crappy.
heal well, STRETCH, and stay hyrated.
wear good shoes and brace that ankle if it continues to be bothersome .
