Foot, Impact wound / trauma

2009-01-29 – 2009-03-01

Grade: 3

I went a little bit short on a jump at sima today and ended up landing really hard. The impact was right on my heels and it hurt like crazy. After lying down for a few minutes I thought it would go away but it didn't. When I got home at night I iced them which helped a little but I still am having trouble walking. I am going to try and stay off my feet until they heal fully because I don't want this to be a persistant injury.

The only thing I could do to help speed recovery was stay off my feet for two weeks. I also iced my heels which seemed to help. I'm going to be more careful jumping from now on but I will probably still jump once I'm sure its fully recovered.
