Here are mine...

2010 broke my hand backspotting a power press back tuck. Flyer didn't open up her arms for me to get in on the right side. My fingers met her back and crack.
Broke the fourth metacarpel bone. Had surgery to have screws placed.

Here's post surgery

And a pic of the xray post surgery, you can see the screws :D

Exactly 5 months later (when I had the GO from the docs to use my hand again), landed in the crack between mats while working at a camp. Tore the outer ligaments in my right ankle. It didn't get treated by the docs... a year later I still had problems and went back for an MRI to find out there's an impression/dent in a bone (Talus if I'm not mistaken), I had a hematoma in my ankle etc. Was given a shot of pain meds into the ankle to see if it helped. Doing a 2nd MRI tomorrow because now the inner side of my foot has pain.

Here's about 1 hour after it happened:

Then a day or so later:

The bruising was really gross. My boyfriend complained that even the bottom of my toes were blue. :D

Chosing to look at this thread as I'm eating my lunch was not a wise choice .....

Tore through both the ligaments on the left side of my left ankle landing funnily from a toe-touch back in 2009.

First time - 2009

I then re-tore it again, same place, a year later.

Second Time - 2010

I re-tore it a third time in late 2010, can't find any pictures of that. That and the close proximity to the time above forced me to quit competing at an elite level.

Fourth Time - 2012

Did this just a few weeks ago - this is a recent photo since the swelling has gone down significantly and I can now walk again. Tore it this time just walking along the street, doing a tiny jump to hop over something on the road. It's gotten to the point where I have to consider surgery now since it's tearing when I'm not even involving myself in strenuous activity (jumping, tumbling). :(

I'm clapping for you as I sit here!:chestbump: 3 years in a row in the same place! :eek: I hope everything works out for you! And if you do have to get surgery I hope it goes well and for a fast recovery! :)

Hi y'all!

I'm doing a powerpoint for my health class about cheer injury prevention. And I need some examples of injuries you can get from cheer. I know their are lots of videos out there, but i need pictures because we're not allowed to access Youtube at my high school. So if you'd like to share them, can I PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have pictures/GIFs (pictures that move) of your injuries? Legs, spines, necks, ankles, arms ANYTHING! And can you explain how you got it too? :)

Thanks so much!

Sorry for the double post :oops: but I believe I can say that your health class will be grossed out! Haha I know I am! :p
