    WAG Does anyone have experience with Talus OCD in ankle?

    I am currently in a boot, non weight bearing. After six weeks I go back in for X-ray.(currently 1 week, 5 days) Other gymnasts have told me surgery is most likely. That the cartilage won't heal. What do you guys think? Any opinions based off experience?

    WAG Ankle Injury Update

    Went to sports specialist...He x-rayed and did an MRI. I have a Talus OCD (Osteochondrial Defect). Can't put any weight on it for 6 weeks, they wanted to cast it. I refused and got a boot instead. Any ideas for conditioning to do while I wait for it to heal?

    WAG Ankle Injury

    My ankle was sprained originally. I kept practicing and walking on it. Over the next week it became swollen and now there is a red-brown bruise on my shin, not connected at the ankle. My whole leg and ankle are swollen. There also appears to be a lump on my ankle bone. I can walk on it which is...

    WAG anterior ankle impingement

    Anyone have anecdata to share about recovery from anterior ankle impingement following a sprain? My kid will be booted for three weeks and then re-evaluated. She thinks she is going to get straight back to full workouts and compete a week later. I am skeptical.

    Parents Ankle Sprain

    My daughter sprained her ankle a few weeks and is about to start training on it a bit more (She has been in the gym conditioning, flexibility etc). I was wondering what supports if any you would recommend while it fully heals.

    Oldest son (11) broke his ankle last night at practice. Got a cast on just in time to hop on the plane to Florida. He is so bummed but will cheer his brothers on. I feel so bad for him :(

    Coaches Specific uses for ankle weights on uneven bars.

    So, I've been mulling around the idea of using ankle weights on bars in a select few scenarios. I wanted to see what you guys have all personally had experience with. So, the first scenario would be to aid gymnasts training cast handstands with the legs together technique. I was thinking it...

    Off Topic High ankle sprains?

    I have a few questions about high ankle sprains. How would you rate the pain of a high ankle sprain and the cause of it? I twisted it doing some weird jump today, with severe pain in the beginning and moderate pain now. How is bruising? As of right now I have a small black and blue oval...

    MAG Ankle Exercises (really, hip down)

    My ds is really tight in his legs. He has tight hamstrings and calves. This is translating to pain in his ankles when he punches and lands. There is nothing wrong with his ankles. Any exercises/stretches/ideas? His therapist is helping, but thought others might know of gymnastic specific...

    WAG How hurt is my ankle?

    So yesterday I did the stupidest thing ever. I did a great backhandpsring on the low beam, then jumped off - and rolled my ankle. Okay, getting past that..... Anyway, I've wrapped my ankle up, but it still hurts a lot to walk normally or put pressure. Do you think it's just a roll? Or...

    WAG Gymnasts who roll their ankles

    Hi all, Does anyone have experience with gymnasts who tend to roll an ankle whilst practising? Do you take any measure/have advice to prevent it from happening? I'm sure I'm not the only one. The problem is that it's not necessarily just doing "big" skills, yesterday I managed it doing a round...

    Parents Ankle weights during beam training?

    So I watched practice for the first time in a month, and I noticed that DD and her teammates are wearing ankle weights during beam practice now. DD is 8, and a L2 moving up to L3. I am concerned about long-term injuries due to extra wear-and-tear and curious about the use of the weights. For...

    WAG colored ankle brace in competition?

    After some searching I can't find a definitive answer--do braces/supports that do not match the athlete's skin color incur a deduction in competition? On her PT's recommendation, my daughter has been wearing an ankle brace at practice (PT prefers the brace to tape because it is less...

    How to prevent a ankle injuries in the gym?

    Ankle injuries are very common in gymnastics ranging from sprains, ligament ruptures, fractures to dislocations but they should not be taken lightly as it can take an athlete out of training for a very long time. I learnt this the painful way, dislocating my ankle landing from a simple straddle...
