bone bruise/sprainFrom: me (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 14 Feb 2002 18:22:49 -0600 (CST)
Hello. I am 16, and I am pretty worried about my ankle. In late February last year, I sprained it while fooling around after softball tryouts. I sprained it pretty badly, but I kept playing anyway. The doctor said that it was just a bad ssprain, and I should stop playing softball for 3 weeks. I couldn't do this, as I found out about 10 minutes after I hurt it that I made the team. I got it taped everyday by the trainer, and I also wore a brace. In July, it was still hurting, so I went to an orthopedic surgeon. They did an MRI, but it only showed that there was a little scar tissue, and that I bruised the bone. He said to come back in October-November if it was still hurting. It still was, but my mom said that if she had to take me back, I shouldn't be playing anyway. I couldn't risk not playing. I was stubborn, and I said that I was fine. The season it starting up again, and my ankle still hurts (mostly around the outside, all around the bone). The trainer has me doing rehab, and a freezing whirlpool everyday, but he said that I should go back to the doc to make sure it's ok. When I tried to bring this up w/my mom, she said I'm not allowed to play if it still isn't better. I have no idea what to do. I can't give up softball, but I want to know how to make it better. Please let me know what I should do.
