DD was practicing tuck jumps on her mat at home last night. She practices every night on her mat and has never had a problem. But, last night, she landed a jump heel first (not even sure how she did that!) and immediately fell to the ground screaming. This morning, she still would not bear weight on it. She has no bruising, no swelling, no obvious signs of injury, yet says it hurts. She was in tears because she has gym practice tonight and is worried she won't be able to.
Is it possible for her to really injure herself this way, even without visible signs of an injury?
