how's your ankle? are you able to walk without limping? can you put weight on it when you stand on both feet? how's the ROM? swelling?

yeah, def get an opinion from another podiatrist or orthopedist or PT.
suggestion: when you do, describe everything to date as you did in that email, but don't go as far as the self-diagnosis. that is, don't say, "i know it's a problem with my arches." might prejudice what that person tells you, and you might be wrong. say something like, "i have an idea about what the problem is but wanted to get an expert opinion."
if what they tell you is unhelpful, it'd have been unhelpful anyway.

hamstrings sore but have gotten better over the course of the day.
have nearly full ROM back in dorsiflexion, plantar flexion still lacking especially +inversion.

agree on staying clear of PTs for the most part. also, sad that less than a week after expressing my sympathy for your sprain and saying that sprains were why i retired from ultimate (and most sports, most of the time), i sprained my own damn ankle. not as bad as yours but i sure won't be squatting imminently.

working around the ankle, day 1
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right ankle
MENTAL STATE: okay
- circuit x 4, exercises start every 30s; second exercise alternates
-- KB swing x 10
-- KB OHP x 5R; 5L; KB row x 5R; 5L
- circuit x 3
-- x-band walk x my hallway
-- band shoulder dislocate x 10
-- hip thrust @3s pause x 10
-- band pull-apart x 10
- KB swing x 100
broke into groups of 15-25 with short breaks
- stretch
my KB weighs 35 lbs.
also, being injured is not the time but once i'm healthy again i might actually try to manipulate my diet to [gasp!] add a bit of pure strength and [gasp!!!!!] actually try to lean out. i'm still below 12% bf per the mirror test but i'm not as lean as i could be. and i've been lazy about my diet. time to get deliberate for the first time in ages. soon.

this morning: ankle stiff and sore, pain at outside of ROM in all directions. minor swelling. balance is a little off, wobbly with closed eyes and intra-foot autocorrections are mildly painful.
still, this could be worse.

FUCK FUCK FUCK 
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: abs (?)
ACHES/INJURIES: tweaked right ankle; head but not too bad; congested but mostly not sick anymore
MENTAL STATE: good then PISSED
- warm up
dude challenged me to one-on-one and i said okay. first possession, i went up for a short jumper and he got under me and i came down on his foot. rolled my right ankle, felt immediate stab. so mad, nobody's fault, just a dumb dumb dumb injury that i did not need to invite.
- DLRVJ x some
tried a few jumps, back ironed a bunch with the mini soccer ball. was not gonna get any higher and the right ankle was starting to announce itself a little although these were mostly pain-free. done out of frustration more than anything.
- circuit x 2
-- pull up x 10,8
-- leg extension x 10
-- leg curl x 10
-- dip x 10,8
- ISO hip thrust x 60s,60s
- BSS x 10R,10L
right ankle will not extend without pain, so couldn't do left-leg BSS. called it a day.
so fucking mad. this isn't serious, i walked home without pain and while my ankle feels tight and painful in plantar and dorsiflexion, i can balance on it with no problem. RICE time, and maybe a little while focusing on hip-hinge stuff rather than squats.

« on: February 16, 2015, 12:09:43 pm »full plantar flexion extending on to big toe
ah, the impossible dream. after i dunk, i'll make sure my gravestone reads "dunked a basketball without full use of his big toes."
ETA: have you thought about going back to more traditional shoes for SL jumping? your feet are taking a beating from running, i imagine, and SL jumping is about as challenging an activity as there is for feet.
