Well last week was my first week back 100% training and sparring after a foot injury. Well on Saturday I ended up getting injured again x2. I have an old acl injury in my left knee that hasn't given me any problems in about 2 years, but in the first sparring round I threw a kick at the same time as my partner and his shin ended up landing on my knee cap. It hurt for a minute but then was fine and I was able to complete the sparring with no problem. I just thought it was bruised but then while working the next evening it began to swell up and has been ever since causing me to have a slight pimp walk.
Anyway also that day the last guy I sparred was a noob. He was a young guy, by the way he acts I think he was fresh outta high school but he could be 19-20. Just from training with him I knew he was going to be kind of a spaz in sparring, so when we began I kind of threw some really soft jabs to let him know we were going light. Nonetheless he comes out swinging like he's trying to ko me. But instead of being a dick I took it easy, moved hit him with some jabs and light body shots. The more he got tagged the more spastic he got and eventually starting throwing head down haymakers and flailing in close. So I started to work my clinch game to calm him down. Well the second time I got him in the clinch, coach yells break after he didnt do much to get out of it, I don't know if he didnt hear that or if he was just being a douche bag, but when I let him out of the clinch I had my chin up hands down and was not biting down on my mouth guard because I thought we were just going to reset. As soon as I let him up he throws a hard hook that catches me on the bottom of my chin which made my jaw move to the side and I heard a pop. I could tell something got fucked up right then. Coach saw this and tells us to reset, so I go back to my corner pissed. First thing I do when we come out is throw about an 85% head kick that nearly drops him, dude comes back and throws a haymaker, which I duck under and hit him with a hard right cross to the nose followed by a hook to the body that does drop him. Needless to say he backed the fuck off and hopefully learned his lesson. But now I'm fucking pissed because I think my jaw is sprained, I cannot fully open it without it hurting like shit, which means trouble eating...and I fucking love my food! I'm just kind of upset that I just got back from an injury and left with 2 more...from sparring for godsakes!
But yeah anyone that has injured or sprained their jaw, how long did it take until it got better? Or better yet how long until you started sparring again? Knowing me I'll probably be back this saturday...
