bummed out... i tore the ligaments in my right ankle almost 3 weeks ago at work. the doc said give it like 6 weeks with the aircast they gave me, but i couldnt take it anymore. i needed to ride my bike. and what did i do f*cked it all up again within an hour. im just worried about that i havnt been riding flat very long and i dont want to loose any of the progress ive been making. who else hates ankles....

try msm and glucosamine. it helps repair connective tissue. everytime i ride for an hour my ankle always swells up everytime so painfully to the point that i have to stop ridiing for a few weeks, till it heals. but taking msm and glucosamine, my ankle never ever swells up again. in a matter of fact, overall my elbows, knees, and shoulder joints feel much better, too.

I was riding yesterday and in the middle of just goofing off sitting on the bars lost balance and fell over but when I landed it messed up my ankle. I dont know what is really wrong with it just that is swelled up like a ballon around my ankle bone and today it is black as hell below the ankle bone.....gonna try to ride today anyway. I can walk easily with little pain so I figure I can ride. but I feel you man.....ankles get a beating

I hate knees!!  I messed up a pinky-whip nearly 3 months back, dislocated my knee, and won't be riding for 3 more weeks.  Thats 3 months total of NO RIDING..!! 2 weeks on crutches, 4 more weeks of keeping my knee straight, on doctors orders, only to be told by a specialist when going for an MRI, that I should've started physio straight away, after it happened.  He told me there and then, after a few physical tests, that I havent torn anything, and to start physio.   3 weeks on, I have strength and full range of motion in my knee, but waiting 3 more weeks, to get stronger quadricep muscles through gym work, and lose some tenderness in the joint that's still lingering.  I suspect a bruised knee bone, which can linger for up to 12 months.  So when I ride again, it's straps and patella-supporting brace for me.   And to boot, I put on 5 kilos from doing nothing but play XBox and eat junk food literally EVERY day.  Not to mention kilos of lost muscle, since I wasn't pumping iron at all, either.
I HATE INJURYS..!!
