Sooo...on top of breaking my fibula in July and not knowing it (now its healed and too long), I just found out that I also completely tore my ATFL at the same time (its still completely torn). Doc says well theres probably like a few tiny fibers of it left, but yeah its mutilated. Fantastic. Ive been skating on it since August. Sigh. This is what happens when most people who go to the doc are being whiny babies about their injuries...when someone who is actually injured shows up, they give you motrin and a million years of physical therapy...and thats it. It took more than 3 months of asking and asking for an MRI to finally get one, and it was still given grudgingly. Doc says well if you were a normal person and rated your pain level at a 9 or 10 instead of a 4 or 5...and maybe if you had gone to the er instead of just strolling into my office...and maybe if you hadnt started skating again like it was no thang...I would have taken you seriously. Im all like dude...Im not gonna lie about my pain level, and you said it probably wasnt anything since I was able to walk on it, so...why not skate and hockey in the meantime? Blah.
