Welcome to ws.com... sucks to hear about your ankle, i have had millions of them and the best advice i can give is ice and heat... and just try to sty off it as much as possible, thats the fastest way you are going to get it to heal.

Good Luck.

dude, i feel your pain man. I have been waiting for like 5 weeks to go skating, then i got pelaria (sp?) on saturday and got a leakage in my lung. Now i have an air bubble inbetween my ribcage and lungs. The doctor told me i can't even go running. Evil or Very Mad

A kid in my grade asked me if i wanted to go out on the jetski with him and now i can't, and we leave for a camp out on friday until monday, my uncle is a camper/boat salesman and he has some KICK ASS BOATS. And I CAN"T USE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this sucks shat sitting inside watching my friends go skate. Crying or Very sad

I just found out today that it could take up to like 6 weeks to get strong enough to wakeskate, Im so bummed out right now, but Im hoping next weekend I can go out but Im definatly not rushing it, and I was planning on buying an integrity this summer

Wow, that sucks...I was pissed off last weekend b/c we didn't get out to our cabin till Sunday because the weather sucked on Friday/Saturday. I still managed to get out for a ride on Monday even though the water was like 10 degrees and I don't have a wetsuit/drysuit. Got my fix Very Happy

Also, a couple summers ago I rolled my ankle so bad I almost broke it and my ankle was seriously the size of a grapefruit...

EDIT: Don't mean to sound like a stalker...but where in Canada you live Volcom18? I have no one to ride with honestly...just a buncha strappers who don't have the balls (literally) to wakeskate.

volcom18, dude 6 weeks would suck man. I ran into this "How To" article on a skateboard site about injuries. I fvcked up my foot riding dirtbike a few years ago and I did what the article said and my foot was better in like 3 weeks. If i find it on my computer i will give it to you. I am sure the doctor already told you what should be done but sometimes DOCTORS ARE WRONG. Smash
