Hi everyone!
About a month ago (November 4th), I was riding while away at school and the horse accidentally tripped, I fell and in the process, the horse accidentally stepped directly on the inside of my left ankle as I was hitting the ground. Foot wouldn’t stop shaking and I couldn’t stop crying like a baby so the BO took me to the ER (bless her soul), they did an X ray and a CT scan and there was no fracture even though it was purple and the size of a soft ball for about a week. Walked with a medical boot for half a week and have been walking with an ace bandage wrapped in a figure 8 around my ankle since, in addition for the first few weeks, I did 12 advil a day (prescribed by the ER) and iced it whenever I got a chance. Two weeks after the fall I went home for Thanksgiving break and rode for a week, couldn’t quite sink weight into my left heel but I was able to safely ride a 3’ course after being home for a week. Came back to school and started riding the mare about twice a week again, but I’m still not able to sink much weight into that left heel which worries me. I also have to be careful going up and down stairs, if I push off too hard going up stairs or flex it too much while going down stairs, it hurts like a you-know-what. Still taking advil whenever I can but I’m in the throes of final exams/music juries so I don’t always remember.
I haven’t been able to find a single other person with this kind of injury from searching on Google, so I was wondering if anyone else on here has had something similar happen to them, and how long it took to fully heal? I’m hoping to do a 2’9-3’ jumper show in the middle of January before I go back to school and if it’s not fully healed by then, I’d rather not risk it- I don’t notice the pain as much when I’m jumping so I’d rather not accidentally mess it up really bad during a rollback or something
