I'm not sure if all of you are aware but I have abnormally weak ankles. This is an extremely huge problem for me because of the number of sports I am involved in. I find myself constantly rolling and spraining both of my ankles, but recently my right one. I have super sturdy ankle supports for basketball and volleyball. They don't allow my ankle to roll in the slightest. My ones for soccer aren't as restricting because I have to be able to have more movement in my ankle to shoot, pass, etc. So the Lincoln volleyball team had a bonding hangout thing(I don't know) and we went to Anna's house to watch Pitch Perfect. Side note: that movie is DA BOMB! I was just casually jogging over to her couch when suddenly I collapsed and hit the floor! My and had randomly given out on me and I half sorta sprained it but not really. It was more of a weird snap/bend. That is exactly what happened to me in the Lincoln vs Emerson game when I tore a ligament in my ankle. It was throbbing for so long but I didn't want to put a damper on the party so I sucked it up and pretending like I was fine...for then. I have been icing it and its a little swollen but I'll live. I had a basketball game today and I didn't know if I should play but I decided to anyways because I didn't want to let my team down and my ankle braces did help. I was still in pain so my coach didn't play me as much but I'm still glad I went. After paying for all of that physical therapy and my ankles are still getting injured. Maybe it's because I haven't done my exercises in two months but whatever...maybe I should start doing those again...well sorry to bore you on all my problems week after week but there's nothing else to talk about! Have a heck of a week people!

As someone who has extremely sturdy ankles I can't relate to your pain. But I hope you feel better!
