So I was rolling around with this little guy who takes sparing way to seriously. I outweigh him by about 100lbs, so I was purposely staying on the bottom so I didn't have as much weight advantage, I was trying to practice some butterfly guard & work on some things I need work on . . . you know practicing. This guy just wanted to win. He wrapped up a foot, fell to the ground, turned it into a heel hook, and rolled as hard & fast as he could. I rolled with him one time & quickly tapped. He didn't hear me, wrenched it again, and I heard a loud pop in my ankle.
Not much swelling at all, but it feels just wrong. Like its not connected correctly. I gave it RICE (rest, ice, compression, & elevation) as soon as I got home. I was just wondering how best to spring back from this. Do I just continue to ice it, and if so for how long & how often? How do I know when it's safe to start rolling lightly again? Would that Tiger Balm stuff help with this? Any advice?
Thanks!
