Tore some ligaments in my ankles...

[newParadigm]

Ok ok. On to the details

I was snowboarding, racing my friend, and i fell, partially tearing ligaments in both ankles.

I went to my doctor (wher i found out what exactly had happened), and they took a bunch of X-Rays.

Bassically, after he determined the nature of the injury, he said to rest it and ice it 3-4 times a day, and not to do any vigorous activity. He said it was OK to walk as long as it didn't hurt to badly.

I was just wondering if this was a normal procedure for partially torn ligaments, or should there be a cast or critches or something i use?

That is teh suxor. Good luck with the rehab.

As long as they're not completely torn it's the right procedure. With ligaments you actually want some movement (rehab for my torn ACL started before the staples came out). Otherwise you'll heal stiff.

My freind has some werid extra bone in her foot, and she injured it. The correct treatment was a cast for 6-8 weeks. She got a brace for 1 week.
