6 weeks of torture

[nantokacchi]

Today was depressing, but in the end, even if we had wom, 3rd place doesn't get in the Nationals anyway. We will have to compete in the Chubu tournament and try again. Our coach benched me in the 3rd quarter. I was thrilled, as you can imagine. And this is why...



I have a stress fracture. 6 to 8 weeks doing f-all ... In 2 weeks I can start swimming and cycling so I don't lose shape, but 4 weeks until I can shoot balls and 6 to start playing.

Happy Christmas.

Your ankle still doesn't stay stationary when cycling. It still flexes and you put pressure on it to propel movement, but hey, it's your body, so if you want to damage it by using it too soon, go right ahead.

Exactly and that's the whole point. Movement is needed. If I don't move my ankle for 8 weeks it will weakens the muscles and physio will take longer. The problem is the weight, so not jumping, running or anything to put weight on it.

It's obviously my doctor and physiotherapist advice, I'm pretty sure they know more about medicine and sports injury recovery than you.

Yeah, I get that. I was referring more to putting the pressure on it when doing range of motion stretches and exercises would be better. That's all.

It should be fine as long as it's a non-weight bearing activity.
