About 6 months ago or so I tore the
ligament in my ankle playing basketball im
only 14 years old but the year b/4 I had a
different problem with my ankle and was on
crutches for about 3 to 4 months and told
myself I would never be on them again, so
when I was playing basketball I went to do
a layup and somthing happend to my anckle
I couldnt get up alls I could do was roll
on the ground screamin and cryin my choach
came over and he asked me if I could put
my anckle down and I tryed but the second
I touched it to the floor it hurt so bad
it made me cry and scream harder, so he
went and got our school nurse and took me
to the nurses office she wrappend it in an
ace wrap with a icepack under it, and
within 2 mins the ice pack was already
warm and she got another one to keep it
from swelling to bad, I still remember me
telling myself I was never goin to be on
crutches again so I forced myself to walk
b.C I also didnt want to go home b.C I was
affraid that my mom would yell at me (we r
not close at all) and the one person who
was close to me was a teacher but she
wasnt allowed to leave the school with me
b.C I was not her child or under her
custity. I made it through the day but
just limping, grinning and barin the pain,
I was going to my friends house after
school to go shopping so I didnt want to
let her down so I never told my mom that
day or night wut had happend and by the
time I told her my anckle was almost the
size of 1 1/2 softballs! I finally had to
show my parents after almost 48 hrs I
could barley stand the pain. I couldnt
get into a doctor for about a week so I
just suffered and my choach knew wut had
happend but I didnt have a note sayin I
couldnt play so he made me keep on playin.
I was takin 1000 milligrams of ibprofin
and it was doing nothing for me. I took
physical therapy for a month and forced
myself so hard that I never told anyone
that my exercizes were hurting me pretty
bad!!! From tearing my anckle could that
have something to do with my sever knee
pains? I asked the doctor but he seems to
be to busy to pay any attention to me when
I was about cryin with pain when he moved
it and pressed on it! Someone please
answer me!

I just saw your post, gosh I hope you are
doing better! You should at least try
to sit down and talk to your mother I know
crutches are ucky but they are better than
having more problems later! Get to a
doctor! Back off the ibuprofen it can
really hurt your stomach and then you will
have more problems, remember when you have
pain it tells you something is wrong!
Sincerely,
sandy
