my ankle is not doing well help

[Tony]

god i need help with my ankle. Im freaking the frack out because it wont get any better than it was a month ago. Doctor seemed dissapointed last time i went and said come back in 6 weeks. I havent run in 9 months and it feels like i will never run or skim again. I almost dont want anything to do with sports or skimming anymore. Its making me sick. All i do is swim and ride my bike everyday so i dont become a fat frack. I actually started going bald and got like 20 grey hairs this past year. Can someone please give me some sort of inspiration because things are not looking good for me to ever skim proffesionally again and im having a lot of issues with that.

thankyou

[fireball]

[Icej]

Is it infected from the surgery?

frack dude every time you make one of these threads I get scared shitless thinkin that I'm most likely gonna end up like you if I keep skating and not taking care of my ankles.

Shit, you can swim, bike and breath for that matter. I'd say relative to a good number of folks, you're doing pretty well.

I know this may have effected your career as a pro (I have no idea what your standing is/was in the sport), but you have to measure yourself by how you respond to adversity.

A few years down the road when you have some perspective you want to be able to look back think "I got past that and I'm better for it". I know it probably doesn't mean shit to you right *now*, but you get past it.

Tony: how old are you? The older bodies just need a lot more time to heal. It sucks but, atleast you're getting out there and fighting obesity.

Edit: DT nice. Im comin to you if I need inspirtation

Tony,

start a serious calcium and vitamin regimen. also start taking glucosomine condrotin. dont buy synthedic vitamins either. then go online and start looking up physical therapy exercises.

fracking word

when I had surgery and couldnt play football any more, looking back it made me so much stronger. I dont know if I wouldve been able to find the inner strength it takes to accomplish some things without having first gone through those trials. You appreciate a lot more shit that you dont even think about. Plus its a sweet story you always have to tell. I actually made up a bullshit story that I tell to a lot of people because its hilarious and everyone believes it.

I kind of ad the same thing happen, broke my right femur, it healed...now it's stronger than my left.

I don't believe it because all I know about you is that you play Halo.

haha wow. i wish i had rep to give.

[RavesIsBack]

yea but I would never be this dominate without having had the surgery (probably because I would be out playing football).

Yeah, I use glucosamine too. I have a bad neck, and it really helps. It's the only supplement that MD's tell you to use for joints.

+1 Glucosamine Chondroiton is pretty key

[CustomKO]

when your depressed your immune system is almost non existent , and the stress your putting yourself through is wearing your body down so your ankle isnt healing as fast as it could be ( also destroys immune system ), stress kills your body and it seems like your doing it to your self , ask for some anti-depressants .

[Indy]

put some tussin' on it.

[RavesIsBack]

thats the first post you have ever made that didnt make me shake my head or facepalm; a Chris Rock reference gets a thumbs up from me.


congrats are in order

[Tony]

For 4 years ive been taking ritually these vitamis

Vitamin B12
Cranberry extract
Glucosamin and chondroten maximum dose
vinegar tablet
Barley
fruit essentials
Garlic
vitamin C at night
Calcium at night
Echinecha and goldenseal when im sick
and something along the lines of st johns wart for depressed times
oh also some viatmin E when i had scars
amongst other ones.

Im now just starting to get on a Homeopothy thing.


I have followed every physical therapist ideals to the T as well as every doctor.

I have done my own therapy stuff when they felt they didnt know what else to do.

Im going to the best doctor i could find. He recieved doctor of the year this year for the entire untied states. Dr Ketih Wapner in Penn U. Along the lines of Dr. Myerson who fixed TO.

And as for counting my blessing, I always have. My cousin is parylized in one leg and my other friend rebuilt his ankle to mention some leg issues i know of. Both are worse than i am and i am thankful for what i have, but it changes nothing when it comes to me making a difference in my sport on the levels i know i could if i were healed enough to skim.. Ive never taken for granted my body and i did more for this fracking sport than 90% of kids in it, and that being humble. So i fracking pissed off that im here crippled and killing myself to get back when kids just waste there lifes with what they have. I cant seem to cheer myself up to do any art photos are whatever anymore because im bitter as frack. And when i do cheer up my ankle just swells up i guess cause its happy too... I dont know . this just is really difficult at times.,

thanks for the replys once again.

[Jim Gordon]

You say you can't run on it, is that because it hurts? Or is it because it just doesn't work? And it sounds like it swells up when you use it to much, is that right?

ahahahahhaha +1

it both of course, but id say the main thing stopping me is the flexibility is really horrible and the swelling is there preventing me from pushing it through, and when i try to stretch it out at all the scar tissue sand joint swrells and i it all hurts. i cant seem to rehab at all to get flexibility back in order to streghthen it, and i cant seem to rest it because it gets weak and stays swollen and shitty. and its been 4 and a half months now, and it shouldnt still be this bad unless something is wrong. i know your supposed to take it easy but i really cant do anythign more than i what i do. i just started on homeopathy today. 3 times a days 6 different medicines for 2 weeks and than call. i also ice it around the clock and have a dyno splint streching thing coming in a week. i am doign everythign i can.

Tony,
beeing far away from you, I cannot really help you much.
But I just want to tell you, to not become bitter.
Just keep on, you are doing all you can to improve your situation, which is really the best you could do now.
The only option you have is not giving up. Maybe you lost a battle, but you didnt lose the war yet.
I was in a similar situation 20 years ago and at a certain time I came to be point, that I had to make the best out of the situation I was in, because becoming negative made things just worse. I can really understand how difficult this is for you, but dont give up.
I really hope and pray, that everything turns out good for you Tony.

Saludos...

[DjMattyD]

really someone didnt like that I agreed glucosamine is good?

[DjMattyD]

fruit essentials

I hear Crith can really help you out with these.

thankyou a lot

If reg. MD's can't help you, you may want to try a acupuncturists......I know what you're thinking "witchcraft". But acupuncture is thousands of years old, and millions of chinese can't be wrong. I have gone to one, and it had helped. Just make sure they use throwaway needles. Here's how it works, the needles doesn't deaden the pain, it speeds up the healing by speeding up the blood flow to your injury. The bad thing is a lot of Med. insurance companys don't cover it, check with your insurance company first, if you want to try it.

[ZapBulletRider]

yeah they only toss away their female babies, they've got flawless judgement.






Seriously though, acupuncture may help.

Truth. I had an acupuncture session about two months ago for tendonitis in my left arm and now I can throw away twice as many female babies as I used to.
