For cardio, I'd do biking, and treadmill. I would stop running maybe a mile every week and increase it as your times improve!

Your so right. Thank you for the encouragement!

Update: Little healing in leg, so I still am doing 50% weight with crutches and boot for four more weeks. The Doc is re-evaluating after four weeks. Ugh.

Thank you so much! I hope she gets well soon!

Thank you! I hope she is doing well!

Thank you!

I got injured in May of 2018, Talus OCD (lesion on my ankle), took six weeks in crutches and boot non-weight bearing. Then did 25% and 50%. It has been 4 months and 4 days. I am still in boot and crutches, with 50% weight. Does anyone know why its taking so long? Doc sending me for another MRI...

Thank you so much for your input!

Thank you for your info and knowledge!

I am currently in a boot, non weight bearing. After six weeks I go back in for X-ray.(currently 1 week, 5 days) Other gymnasts have told me surgery is most likely. That the cartilage won't heal. What do you guys think? Any opinions based off experience?

Thank you so much! I'm hoping that it will heal and no surgery. Doctors aren't sure yet,:(

My friend who had a similar injury got the cast and ended up needing surgery. She didn't come back to gym. I was just worried that it could happen to me. Thanks for the tips!

Yep, that would do it. I personally find using gauze and wrapping it with the wrap that sticks to itself it best.

Does she use grips? If not (I don't),wrap tape around her palm. I use the stuff that sticks to itself with gauze.

Went to sports specialist...He x-rayed and did an MRI. I have a Talus OCD (Osteochondrial Defect). Can't put any weight on it for 6 weeks, they wanted to cast it. I refused and got a boot instead. Any ideas for conditioning to do while I wait for it to heal?
