I AM my Own Worst Enemy...........????????

REALLY?? I am so frustrated. Apparently, my right anterior talofibular ligament HATES me. I rolled the CRAP (that's medical terminology, right?) out of my right ankle on March 6th............It was bad. I've had worse, but it was right up there pain wise. Well, I like to think I did a fair job of rehabbing it............I guess I thought wrong.
Tonight at TurboKick I DID IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! Like, literally, rolled the ankle, fell to the floor to "go with the roll". Oh My Gosh..........That's all I can say. Oh My Gosh. Please tell me I'll wake up and feel great. I've already ice massaged it twice, and I'm compressing and elevating it as we speak. I'm really bummed. Just when I pump out a month straight of consistent work..............I don't know what else to say, except I need to take care of this. And please, patience in not MY virtue. This will be tough, but I know, I know, I must be smart and deal with this before anything else. Oh, and of course when I'm researching it, I read this:
"Ankle sprain is the most frequent sports injury encountered today. The complications include prolonged ankle pain, a high rate of recurrence, and chronic ankle instability."
Huhhhhh, well, that about wraps it up for me: High rate of recurrence,and apparently, chronic ankle instability. Must I mention, too, that I was wearing my Mid Ryka's (think high top) and my ace ankle brace and it still happened?...........................................................
GOOD NIGHT!

Oh DARN IT!!! I am so sorry! Your competition is still a ways off, so hopefully you can rehab and still have plenty of time to prepare.

My hubby and I are both ankle -rollers and it just sucks - there's no rhyme or reason to when it happens, but make sure you give it some rest. So sorry!
