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...
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?
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?
My ankle was sprained originally. I kept practicing and walking on it. Over the next week it became swollen and now there is a red-brown bruise on my shin, not connected at the ankle. My whole leg and ankle are swollen. There also appears to be a lump on my ankle bone. I can walk on it which is...
My rips keep getting infected. I don't use grips, I prefer bare bar. When I have one I just chalk it thick so it doesn't hurt. What could I do to prevent infection?
Ok so this gymnast is 16, never competed before, taking rec classes about a year and is at about a level 4 in skills. What can she do diet-wise, conditioning-wise, mentally-wise to get her to level 6 soon before next season so she has a shot at competing?
Thank you this will mean so much to her!!!
