Question:
My Ankles Are Hurting & Wont Stop!! HELP!!!!!!?
Hey guys! I'm a cheerleader & i have been tumbling for the past 3 mornings & my ankles are killing me! Today at practice I had my coach wrap them but, i still felt nothin but pain. It hurts really bad to stand on them (expecially when i tumble!) I stretch them REALLY good before & after practice too. My mom wont take me to the doctor because she says "all the doctor is going to say is rest on them." And of course, that's what I do all the time (except for when i have cheer) I don't know what to do anymore!!! Please answer if you have any solutions! Thanks guys!
Answers:
Rest means more than, "I rest every minute I am not cheering." It might mean take a week off from tumbling. Ask mom if you can take some ibuprofen as directed and see if that helps with the inflammation. And ask coach for several days' break from tumbling and jumping to heal up.
