knees are bad, they dont fix emselves too good.
used to skateboard so have HEAPS of expirience with ankles, done both of mine, many, many times.....
first, arnt the colours wonderfull, the bruses just keep changing colours and tend to end up on the bottom of your foot....
it takes AGES to heal, bones are way faster, and will probably never be the same again.
DONT push your recovery, if you tweak it your back to day 1 again.... if your over 21 or so, bout 2 weeks on crutches is normal, but i wouldn't do anything like riding for at least a few months,. even with good boots/ankle support.
just dont, i pushed one of my injuries and that is my really dodgey ankle now.
you will know when youre up to normal sorta stuff, but be very carful for atleast 1 year, remember, if you tweak it your back to day 1......
but i've found they go back to about 90% of pre accident strength, after a while....
now knee's, hmm learnig about that one now, getting a LARS next week.....
