Injured!

I am completely bummed out!  Just sort of venting I guess!  This past weekend I spent a lot of time on my mom's large trampoline and hurt what I thought was my ankle.  Turns out I put a nice little tear in my achilles tendon...and now I am exercise restricted until it heels. 

What a bummer!  I feel so derailed!  Grrr!! 

 Oh my gosh you are so lucky you just have to restrict excercise. I tore my Achilles Tendon on March 23 2011. I finally got my cast off for good on August 20th of that same year. It was one of the most painful, infuriating things ever. I am so glad that you will be able to keep going soonish.

I pray to god that they don't make me get a cast!  I have to go have a follow-up MRI and appointment to follow up at the hospital.  The doctor told me no exercise, no stair climbing, lots of rest and ice......it's just a small tear and a lot of inflammation. 

It is definitely very painful.  : (

 Take it really really easy, a small tear can turn into something so much bigger. 
I am keeping my fingers crossed for you that all is good on your MRI. 

I know how you feel.  I too am totally bummed out.  I sprained my ankle and broke a bone in my foot playing baseball.  I am restricted to doing nothing until I start physio which I still have to wait 3 1/2 weeks.  I am stuck in an aircast for 4-6 weeks.  It totally sucks.

I can relate ladies but the best thing you can do it rest it and give it time to heal.   Been there done that  

Sorry to hear about your injury

I'm really sorry to hear this - what a downer, especially at this time! I know for me, it's going to be difficult to establish a habit of becoming active and doing active things for fun (although I look forward to it, too, in a way), and to have something like that happen must really put a roadblock in the way.

I hope it heals soon! Good luck.

Is it possible to do some sort of exercise that doesn't put pressure on your foot, like maybe swimming?

 So sorry to hear that you're hurt.  I didn't understand how serious it was when you first told me.  I'll get the spiritual team on the job for you, lol.  Wishing you quick healing.  It definitely sounds like its time to spend lots of time floating in a swimming pool with the kids.  Who knew a trampoline could cause this kind of injury?!

Sorry for your injury. I have a pulled achilles and it refuses to heal. So I can imagine the pain. Good luck.
