sprained ankle healing tips and surfing
- Thread starter Truth
- Start date
People always talk about long waves being thigh burners but every big wave surfer will tell you hamstrings are key. Hamstrings allow you to hold and stabilize your legs during dynamic pressure in a bent at the knee position.
with going through the healing process from a torn Achilles:
1) don't let the leg be inactive too long.
2) ice and elevate when it acts up.
3)wrap when needed
3 )massage work wonders
4)hot water soaks
5) it all sucks

Ice has some analgesic effect but it will likely inhibits healing to the same degree that it will provide comfort.
Tolerable activity and time are your options. Alieve for pain management.
I broke mine in 2 places when I was 17 same crap 8 weeks off. I had to work my a$$ off to surf again and even had to relearn to walk.
Yeah, I’m guessing thoughI agree.
It seems to be a back and forth -get the swelling down, rest it and then stretch and strengthen again. And has been a slow curve of lessoning of burning and achy pain.
you lose so much so quickly by being inactive. When I first started to put weight in my foot, everything hurt though lack of use: arch, calve, knee. Had to learn to walk again.
Feet have so many nerves. Post surgical pain management for feet is tougher than any other body part.
RICE hadn’t been relevant in years. Ice and compression do not increase healing….decrease it actually. Rest and protection are a ticket to s long recovery.
THIS SEEMS LIKE A SEASON ENDING INJURY MAYBE IT IS TIME TO PACK IT IN BUD......
Yes.
Don't cast.
Stay off it.
Let it heal.
Miss one swell or come back too early and miss ten swells?
I was trying to surf injured once (tweaked ankle like yours) and Owl Chapman asked me "Do you want to come back slow and strong or fast and weak?"
50 yo men do not heal like 25 yo men.
