Help!!!! MAJOR ANKLE PAIN!!!?
Hey guys! I'm a cheerleader & i have been tumbling for the past 3 days & 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!

Nope! My ankles arent bruised or swollen!!!! It's wierd!
Answers:
Sounds like you have ankle instability. Your mom should take you to see an orthopedic doctor and get a referral for physical therapy to strengthen your ankle muscles so that you ankles can better handle the demands placed on them by the tumbling.
