Ankle Injury, Should I park the bike for a few weeks?

[rsw81]

I always thought ankle sprains were no big deal, until a few months ago when I completely rolled my ankle and tore some tendons. Couldn't walk for 3 days, but tried anyways. Didn't feel right for another month or two, and it still hurts sometimes and I can hear the tendons popping.

Take it easy, tendons/ligaments never heal fully and you should be doing everything you can to ease the healing process.

See exercises for ankle stabilization above:spank:

I'd rather break my ankle (which heals) than sprain my anke (which doesn't really heal very well).
