So, I have had a streak of bad luck and my most recent was a fluke accident involves a potentially (but highly unlikely) fractured heel. So, I was at adult gym with most of the other coaches and was measuring my starting point so that I could work on round off flic double twist. I do round off flic lay into the pit and BANG my heel hits concrete.
So, the pit in theory is 3 layers, foam then trampoline then more foam. Somehow i managed to find my way though all of this to concrete underneath. My heel now is very sore to walk on most surfaces and barely tolerable on hard ground. I have a comp tomorrow so have sucked it up and did mock comp today. Heel very sore and surprisingly hurts less while tumbling than walking - or at least i don't notice it as much.
Conveniently, i had a physio appointment booked for the next morning for a pulled groin, and I asked about it then, she put ultrasound on it which should have made it very very painful if it was fractured and it didn't feel painful, so fingers crossed!!
I have another appointment in a week and if its still sore then i have to get an xray but fingers crossed its better!!
I am just angry right now because its an injury that shouldn't have happend - i was going into the pit. FAR OUT!
It was pretty bad today after training when i went to mall to do some errands and i got stranded in a shop because I couldn't walk.
Not asking for medical advice, just ranting. If you got this far well done you deserve a medal
