Question: What did i do to my ankle? (read below)?
i am a gymnast. everytime i vault, i land short and it kills. i cant walk on it at first... then about an hour or so later i can walk on it but i still cant curl my toes under& push my ankle forward. i cant sit cross-legged or with my ankle under. should i see a doctor or is it nothing!?

im a gymnast too (:
anywayss i have ankle problems tooo, do you tape your ankle ? or wear some kindd of brace ? because that might helppp.... and how long has this been happening ?
i would try taping it or wearing a brace for a week or so and then if it doesnt help go to the doctorr... thats what i did, and it turned out i had an extra bone in my ankle. but thats not what yours sounds like.. you may have torn a tendon or somethingg.. thats what happened to my friend ..

ok is this happening every time you vault? and if it is does it eventually get better? if it doesn't get better normally it is most likely a tendon issue but it really depends on what type of pain your experiencing. there is a chance that when your landing the force is pushing your bones down into a position that they are not supposed to be in and if this is the case wearing an ankle brace when you vault could greatly alleviate your pain. you should probably get it checked out if it keeps happening though.
