Yea so i wont be riding for a while because i tore up some ligaments in my foot while playing indoor soccer but on the brighter side i landed 6 or 7 180 unispins the day before i did this. yay… ok so this is where you tell me how bad you feel for me…
Too bad about your damaged ligaments. I highly recommend you follow the advice of your doctor, not advice from unicyclists who did not tear the same ligaments and aren’t doctors. A friend of mine broke his ankle unicycling (riding one-footed on a 6’ giraffe, in the rain, in a parade, downhill). He removed the cast prematurely because the itching was driving him nuts. As a result, he never regained full range of motion in that joint and he’s not going to, as this was 25 years ago.
I’ve torn the ligaments in my ankles three times now, it takes 3 full months to completely heal, even with physio and ultrasound treatment. I could ride on it before this time but it would twinge randomly whihc doesn’t inspire confidence if you;re trying something big. I hope yours isn’t that bad, get wel soon.
yea i know i just tried getting on and it didnt hurt, but im not gonna be riding soon… although the doctor said that it may only take 1-2 weeks to heal yea crazy. I can already walk on it without crutches and no pain. In fact, when i was at the hospital, the nurse even asked me if i wanted crutches at all. I find that a little strange because if i said no, then i wouldnt have them. Yes, but the doctor said that if i did re-injure it at all, i could end up with a loose ankle? i guess thats just where your ankle doesnt work like it used to… so i will be taking it extremely easy untill its healed. thanks for the advice and your concern!
