So I sprained my ankle April 9... I'm back to walking on it and it only hurts when I'm walking downhill or up hill and when I stretch completely to one side or the other... slight pain..not severe pain... anyone know how long before I can get back to grappling and muay thai about. Also any tips for speeding up recovery and rehabilitation
Ankle Sprain
- Thread starter biggino
- Start date
Grade 2 sprain.... I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to be walking on it much right now even...I'm just rushing and I have a physical job so I have no choice.... I think mt is completely out of the question as it will get reinjured for sure I feel ...but I feel grappling is a possibility. I can't do hops and jumps and it slightly hurts with any pressure whatsoever yet. I think I'll givee grapplin a try in a week...and see how it goes.

Rest it until you can gauge the severity, if in doubt go to a doctor.
If it is bareable, do what you can, stop what is causing pain, shift focus on bringing up non-competing weaknesses.
I'd cut the sparring and spend the time drilling or anything with an a high certainty of further damagin your ankle.

You have 27378 minutes before you can grapple or muay thai. You need to get at least 30 oranges a day for recovery. Post a pic holding a shoe for an accurate diagnosis.

I do t like to say that I'm psycho but I been called that before.. I shattered my left leg in six places cause I walked on it while it was broken. Doctor didn't think it was broken too until x rays... but I don't want to get plates again cause I got a very physical job and can't take time off. So not sure what is safe. I personally know I can do it but need advice to see how safe it is to train long term wise

one thing that might help: get a bucket and fill it with beans, stick your foot into it and move it around in all directions. do this multiple times a day in 3-5 minute sessions. the resistance at all angles really helps stimulate the healing process. my grandmother's 88 years old and broke her wrist falling down the stairs, it wouldn't heal for 8+ months until she starting doing the exercises mentioned above. she learned about it from a specialist.
Wow sounds interesting.. Thanks for the reply.. I'm definitely going to try this exercise. What kind of beans tho am putting in there? Serious question.. thanks.

It don't think it really matters, just something small. Kidney beans, lentils, black beans should all be good.
Hope it works for ya!
