Jackson tweaks ankle ahead of opener; Bobcats trying to end streak of bad starts
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – All that talk about the Charlotte Bobcats avoiding another poor start was silenced briefly Tuesday when Stephen Jackson crashed to the floor in the final practice before the season opener.

So a few weeks ago I had ankle pain and it was supposedly because of my Achilles tendonitis. The pain went away soon HOWEVER! I am a diver, springboard dive, and today I had a meet. When i went on the board and did a jump my ankle popped when i landed on it and then after that was non stop pain. IDK if i have a high pain tolerance level or what not but I could still walk on it tho it hurt like hell. I finished the meet and now I am icing it. What could it be and what is the fastest way to heal because I can’t afford an injury right now with all the sports i do! PLEASE HELP ME!
I felt and heard a pop

Basically, when I bend down to pick up a pen, for example, the bottom of my ankle stings/burns (like someone has a lighter to it). It’s hard to explain where it is. It’s at the bottom of my achillies heel but before the sole of my foot. If I’m standing barefoot on the ground, go to the back of my ankle and up one inch from the ground. Right there. Funny thing is it doesn’t hurt or burn when I’m walking or playing basketball, only when I bend down and stretch that far. Someone said my Achilles heel may be ready to snap. Any ideas? Achilles tendonitis?

i have tendinitis in my left ankle and my doctor gave me a ankle brace that i used for the rest of the season. it didn’t help very well and i can feel the same pain again. and for my left ankle, i think i’m getting it in the ankle because it feels the same as it did when i had it before. thank you

I dont wanna walk around at school or any time cuz Im scared Im going 2 make it worse. But I have 2 walk around at school. Is it possible 4 me 2 actually cause more damage??

Bobcats’ Jackson tweaks ankle ahead of opener

Jackson tweaks ankle ahead of Bobcats opener
All that talk about the Charlotte Bobcats avoiding another poor start was silenced briefly Tuesday when Stephen Jackson crashed to the floor in the final practice before the season opener. Coach Larry Brown said he was “alarmed,” fearing his top scorer from last season had hurt his Achilles’ tendon.

I was skating yesterday and landed a shovit with my footing halfway off the board. My heels stayed on the board so it kept going and twisted my ankle to the side rather violently. I’m pretty sure I felt a pop. Also, judging from my position on theboard my foot was probably also tilted up.

Initially the swelling was really bad, it looked like I had an egg under my skin on the lateral part of my ankle above the bump that usually sticks out (forgive me for not knowing the proper medical term) but with a little ice and some compression (I wrapped it in an ace bandage and put it in a splint because I had to walk a little) the swelling went down to a reasonable level.

So here’s the thing. I can rotate it and put weight on it without any MAJOR pain. Also, when feeling it and applying pressure to the joint, the areas that hurt the most are in-between the bones (basically I have a ring of pain around my ankle, in between thefoot and shin) and the two divots on either side of my Achilles tendon. Speaking from a logical perspective, it’d appear that I simply have a second degree (or whatever the classifications are called) sprain. However I’m no medical expert and wanted to get some second opinions before I shell out the copay to see my doctor. Also, if it doesn’t sound too severe maybe I’ll get a little peace of mind at least.

It’s now the morning after I sprained it( probably a good 20 hours after the fact) and it’s still kinda swollen with light bruising. It hurts a little more now to put weight on it but I can still even balance on my injured foot without severe discomfort. Any feedback wins my undying affection
