sprained ankle?

[newswoman13]

Hey, has anyone sprained your ankle recently? I've done this several times, just not in the past couple years. I've forgotten what a pain! I twisted it and fell last Tuesday and have tried to stay off it as long as possible -- It's frustrating, I'm ready to be moving again, but I know it's not ready for much. I suppose I'll just have to listen to it and ease back into exercise...But, I'll get bitchy if I miss my fave step class this week, too! ahhh!!

OUCH! Did you sprain it when you were working out?
I sprained my ankle this past year doing 'All Step', frustrating is right! All these months later I still get a little nervous doing the grapevine down the board shuffle over. I iced and gently stretched it lots the first few days and only had to rest it about a week. Putting on lace up shoes hurt for months. Glad you are ready to get moving and prepared to baby your ankle until it's a bit more healed. It sucks to miss your fave step class but better to miss one than to push your ankle too hard, too early and miss many.

Take Care

Yeah, I am not too patient when it comes to missing my step class!

I broke it on my way to the dermatologist office to have a biopsy (and, i was wearing my Rykas -- not heels, of all things!). So, I walked out with stitches in my shoulder and a swollen ankle. What a day!

So frustrating, but I'll try to baby it. Thx!
