Cross Country, can't run do to ankle injury
« on: July 31, 2009, 10:53:59 am »
I run Cross Country on a daily basis, 6 in the morning to 8, and I usually run 10-12 miles every day. Recently, I was in a Cross Country camp where we ran up mountains in North Carolina, 5 miles, then ran the rest of the way back to camp. (about 7-8 miles) We did this for about 4 days, finished by a race that entailed running 2 miles as fast as you can. I finished, barely clocking in at 12 minutes (Or 6 minutes/mile). When we got back to Florida two things happened: 1, I got a sinus infection out of the blue, and 2, I found I couldn't walk due to my ankle hurting like crazy every time I tried to shuffle across the room. I iced it, stretched it, etc, then tried to run the next day. The sinus infection didn't bother me as much as the ankle did. I ran about a mile out before having to turn back because of the pain, it was like someone shoved a white hot fire-poker into the bone itself. I haven't run for the past few days, but I'm planning on running again on Monday.

Could anyone give any tips on how to treat a sprained ankle?

Lots and LOTS of ice. Also, try and keep off of it until it's COMPLETELY better, or it'll just come back worse.

If you have the means, immobilize the ankle with a brace or splint. Don't ice for more than 20 minutes. Elevate the ankle to limit swelling.

What if you didn't have any genitals, couldn't you just go naked as a dude (because showing your nipples is okay)?

I hate ackronyms, they very rarely help, I just end up putting stupid words to it in my head.  Lets try RICE -

Run
Into
Car and
Escape

Hey, that one's not too bad.

I'm Cthulhu, I can make twelve miles in a few steps, less if I resize myself.

And you can't sprain an ankle without bones.
