Sprained my Ankle

I lightly sprained my Achilles Friday night at Muay Thai class. I finished the class, limping a bit. I've been limping around all weekend, taking ibuprofen, alternating hot and cold, etc. I'm still planning to hit tomorrow's class, but I'm a bit worried.

I'm going to try a home-grown tape job.

Wish me luck!

    Good luck! Don't push yourself to the point of further injury! But good for you for staying on track. :)

    Sorry to hear it, George. I did the same thing running tonight. I hope it's just a light sprain too, although I couldn't run on it to get home. Elevation, Ice, rest, and Ibuprofen tonight. We'll see how it feels in the morning.

    Not too bad at boxing tonight. Good stretch before and a brace during. Ice immediately after. I'd say I'm at about 90%.
