Ugh. I don't know what to do about my ankle. I sprained it over a year ago (march or april 2012) doing a standing tuck on a wedge, I landed with one foot on the mat one foot off. I went to urgent care and they x rayed it, said nothing was wrong, just a sprain. I took some time off and then got back into cheer... but it still hurts. I can walk on it and everything. But when I tumble/jump the landing HURTS like if I do more than a round off backhandspring I get this terrible pain and limp my way off the mat. So I've taken multiple breaks but nothing helps! And if I tumble, say yesterday, then all day today my ankle would hurt. Even if I'm sitting around all day. I've got a super brace on it (lace up plus velcro around) but it doesn't help much, and I've gotten really fed up with my ankle hurting ALL. THE. TIME. This time last year I had a layout, working fulls. Now I struggle with bhs-tucks, partially because I know it'll hurt when I land, and partially because I just can't work them 90% of the time.
I'm not sure what I should do - resting it hasn't helped, braces haven't helped, ibuprofen/tylenol hasn't helped... IDK If I should get it checked out again? I mean they said nothing was wrong last time and I can walk on it and kind of tumble (painfully) on it but I feel like it shouldn't still hurt 14 months later?
