broken

I have a very sad little gymnast....hopefully it will heal quickly. The first meet is December 6...tell me, veterans, will we be ok?!

Does anyone know how to tell if a little toe is broken or just badly bruised?

On February 12th I fractured 3 bones in my foot. I was vaulting and messed up my steps and somehow missed the board and smashed the whole left side of my left foot into the metal pole that holds up the vault. I am still hurt because I made some not-so-smart decisions. It happened on a wednesday...

Ydd was working on her jump to the high bar at practice the other night. She was getting very frustrated with herself that she kept jumping and missing because all the other girls were making the jump and doing the high bar kip. It was her last turn before they had to rotate to beam, I really...

Vent. After becoming proficient at tsuk drills, my coach asked me to "chuck" one on the foam vault on to two 8" inchers by myself (we don't have access to a pit). Surprisingly I did and even landed on my feet... but I pulled my knees really hard and my now very bruised right knee broke my...

Last week at practice I did a leap and landed on my ankle wrong and rolled it. It didn't hurt when I first did it and I kept on doing practice just fine. Two days after that practice my ankle started to hurt whenever I walked off and on. It's been a week and it's still hurting at different times...

I injured my foot last thursday on beam. I was doing aa layout stepout on low beam without panel mats as a warm up. I whipped it back a little bit and almost missed my first foot completely. The side of my foot hit the edge of the beam. The pain was pretty bad. I thought I broke my foot bc it...

State championships are in 5 weeks and I've gone and Broke my elbow and sprained my wrist. Cast is't coming off for another 7 weeks. I know I can condition, and I can work on skills that don't involve my arms, but I'm not sure What else I can do. I'm out of state now. I was thinking of dropping...

Towards the end of September I broke the middle bone in my hand (directly under the middle knuckle) tumbling. I was doing a round off back handspring (easy for me) and according to the doctor and my coach, my fingers bent causing too much force which made my hand break. Well no 8 weeks later, I...

One of my Level 5s just broke her hand doing a back handspring yesterday. She's done them for about four years and all of a sudden this happens! We have a meet this weekend and then five more before the season ends, and now she's out. It's such a bummer and I feel bad for her because she's...

Is McKayla Maroney's toe broken and do you think it will affect her crazy Amanar vault?

I was watching American Ninja Warrior tonight and there was a competitor who was 250 lbs. They kept talking about his weight and how the course was not really designed to handle his weight. They do use springboards and this reminded me of a situation that happened when I was a very young, very...

So I'm a little bummed. AB finally was invited to work out with level 5 team this year, after 3 (yes 3) years at level 4. She has always had the skills, but no focus. At our gym, you have all summer and part of fall to obtain the skills for the next level or you can't compete that level. You...

Poor DD - she can't seem to catch a break. Or rather catches too many of them. Around this time last year we were just learning about her spondy which led to a summer of no gymastics but lots of conditioning. She caught up to her team mates to compete a mix of L7 and USAIGC and was doing...

Ellie ran through the house and caught her foot on a corner. She cried for a few minutes and kept on going. Monday she was up and around. It looked fine other than a cut. No complaints from her. She asked me to wrap it for gym because there was a bruise. I wrapped it. She did 3 hours of...

My baby ended up with an broken ankle yesterday because our 8 month old doberman puppy jumped on her in the morning while she was sleeping. She is devistated knowing that she is potentially going to miss the next 6 weeks of practices and meets, according to the hospital anyway. She goes to the...

I had posted before about an ankle/foot injury I sustained and after 2 weeks finally got the diagnosis of broken talus, which according to the doctors, is a bad bone to break. I was sent to see a specialist at the university hospital which ended up being the wrong specialist- a hip & knee...

My dd is training L7, fractured her pinky finger at practice. The place we go that deals with sports injuries sent us to see a hand surgeon at a facility that specializes only in hands. The surgeon determined that she did not need surgery or pins, and he re-set her finger at the office and put...

My 6 y.o. broke her humerus 2 weeks ago. She is in an advanced preschool gymnastics and LOVES it. The doctors say that there is no reason why she can't go back. Just wondering if anyone else have had this type of fracture (or any other) and were you able to come back to gymnastics and is...

Im pretty sure i have a few injuries i have accumulated in the 1 year after my home closed down and i was forced to move to a gym that was my last choice, but i didnt think that i was truly beyond repair. Let me explain; we were doing press handstands against a wall, these would give me no...
