It keeps you from your training regimen, and most of all, from running laps. Anyway, it’s not advisable to move frequently when you've sprained your ankle because that might cause further damage.<br /><br /><a href="http://chiropracticmemphis.blogspot.com/2014/03/can-memphis-chiropractor-help-patients.html" rel="nofollow">Mark Wallace @ Chiropractic Memphis</a><br />Mark Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14635922022901299015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349463963034114839.post-20013153480495581162014-06-10T13:27:23.590-07:002014-06-10T13:27:23.590-07:00I know it’s been a while now, but I think you shou...I know it’s been a while now, but I think you should just wait for your ankle be completely healed before you rush to the race, because the activity might reinjure it or even worse, greatly affect your active lifestyle.<br /><br /><a href="https://drwadefaerberdo.wordpress.com/2014/06/05/what-to-expect-from-an-orthopedic-specialist/" rel="nofollow">Wade Faerber</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06100690535534032929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349463963034114839.post-17007165126058750742011-04-08T09:00:46.797-07:002011-04-08T09:00:46.797-07:00I'm with D.

While normal, basic movement can accelerate healing, without adequate rest, the ankle doesn't have time to fully recover, and is prone to further injury down the road.<br /><br />If I were you, I would give it a week, and follow some sort of <a href="http://www.sprainedankle.org/" rel="nofollow">ankle rehab program</a>, to help stay on schedule.

I know we're all different, but I kept running with a mild sprain, and with that whole rolling thing you mentioned, it got worse and worse.<br /><br />I'm now doing physiotherapy, and part of my therapy includes increasing my strides per minute. (Something to do with it leads to less opportunity to injure it.) Hard to explain, but when I run, it feels right. <br /><br />I'm doing shorter distances than I had in mind for this year at my physiotherapist's recommendation, but like I said, we're all different, so if you can get into one maybe he'll have some good advice.<br /><br />Wishing you speedy healing!Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00472904236438692071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349463963034114839.post-56557261104450025772011-03-30T17:55:34.804-07:002011-03-30T17:55:34.804-07:00Whoa, that is a massive bruise!

Glad it's feeling better, but I still wouldn't push it, especially since you know how it's treated you in the past.<br /><br />Honestly, if I were you, I'd knock down to the 9 for Big Sur. I'm sure Tara would love a partner, but really... what happens if you do roll it again? Brace or no brace, hopping into THAT marathon after time off is going to be rough on your body AND your ankle. <br /><br />While I know you don't want to have to shelve two races in a row, I'd take this time and let it heal before pushing it again. Just my two sense -- I know how stubborn you are, though. :) <br /><br />xoxo,<br />AAlyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160111808957762314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349463963034114839.post-86279603912849050132011-03-30T17:39:31.194-07:002011-03-30T17:39:31.194-07:00Boo!

I would ask the Dr. about the advisability of running before the ankle is fully healed (I had a badly sprained ankle and was told 6-8 weeks minimum), and I'd ask the pt to show me strengthening exercises. I wouldn't do the race, personally, and agree with Diana's assessment.

The body likes gentle normal movement for healing.
