Crazy injury report

Last week I had a perfect training week for where I wanted to be right now.

It went well and there were no complications...

Today I was sitting on the floor and for no reason I can figure my left ankle started to hurt. I thought it was strange because I wasn't putting any weight on it when it started to hurt. I went to get up and see if I could figure out what happened and it started crunching. It cracked about 8-9 times before it started to fold under and I realized I wasn't going to be able to stand up.

Once I made it back to the ground I felt a lot of anger along with the intense pain.

I was super pissed that I'd just damaged the hell out of my ankle somehow. It was tweaked in a sick way and I felt/heard a lot of stuff get crunched when I tried to put weight on it. My ankle has never made those types of noises before. :( I was also pretty worried because the last time I totally rolled my right ankle was about 12 years ago and it's never been 100% from that day on.

Realizing I was going to have to get up sooner or later I got up using the other leg. I tried to put some weight on the injured side and somehow or another....it was fixed. ?? The pain dropped down about 90%. As I type it's dropped off 95%.

I don't know what happened or why it's almost gone but it has me taking a day off and tomorrow we shall see how things are going.

Super weird.

Whatever you do, don't go and get it checked out by a doctor. It's probably best if you just keep guessing what it might be, that way you don't have to deal with it and maybe risk your trg plan in 6mths when you really have to deal with it.

Yeah, it'll probably just go away. Crunching doesn't mean anything.

Yeah...

Something told me the crunching was bad. :(

This blows.

It hardly hurts at all today.....

No swelling.

Yeah, I know you are right....I just don't want you to be.

I think Shaun pretty much summed it up....dude, get it looked at and see what is going on.
