ORIGINAL: mstrjx My pain threshold is inordinately high - through the roof. A few years back I inadvertently broke my right ankle in two places. I thought it might be a sprain. The next day, I drove (on said right ankle) 500 miles to a business meeting that was supposed to last through the week. The following day, things weren't getting any better, so I drove to a hospital. The doctor let me know my ankle was broken (in two places), and since I was 500 miles from home it was decided I should wait until I got back home to have it set. So, at 3:00 in the afternoon, I drove the 500 miles back home (on said right ankle). It was finally set on what would be day 4 of the adventure. Personally, I thought the whole thing was an inconvenience at best. I can take what I can dish out. Jeff I tore a piece of the meniscus plate in one knee, went to the doctor who wanted to operate. I went to my martial arts master who showed me an exercise I could do. Two years of hellish pain as I did the exercise 4-6 times a day, especially before and after working out. Two years later I was skiing again. I cracked my heel bone doing rolls and hitting a board at the edge of the mat. Hurt like hell for years, but I never stopped doing front rolls. 4 years later, I had my ankle x-rayed and my doctor said "when did you break your heel bone?" I was teaching a class on unarmed defense against the armed assailant class a few months ago, and one of the students bounced on my weapon hand with her knee to pin it and did something to one of the ligaments or tendons in my wrist. Hurts. Will eventually heal. To sort of protect it I use hand wraps. I could go on... Sinergy p.s. Im curious about the ankle injury. Did they have to rebreak the ankle in order to set it?
