Why does a band amplifier cause pain in a bandmember that has had an ankle replacement?  Can it be prevented?

I don't know if a ankle replacement involves screws, but it may be reverberation  in the joint causing the pain.  The slightest reverberation can cause headaches plus other pain.\n\nSo that might be it.\n\nSince I  broke my ankle, I can't tolerate cold in it.  The screws in the plates radiate cold into the bone and it is VERY painful.\n\nI have a padded ankle wrap that I put on mine when it is cold.  The same type might work to help block the viberation.

I would start a physical therapy regimen.  However you may need to see an orthopedist to make sure you aren't injuried seriously.  you could have tendinitis or arthiritis if you have been playing for a long time.  If your tendons and bones are okay however you should be doing excersies in the gym to strengthen the area and working the area in question.  Make sure you are stretching before your activity and icing after you play.  I would buy ankle wraps so that you don't have to tape them up everytime.  Look into sports therapy and sports medicine websites, there you can get a list of excersises that will help your cause.  \n\nGood Luck!

Foot Dr is sending u to another physician?  Look is the leg swollen or the ankle?  \n\nIf u sprain ur ankle it's going to take a while for it to heal.  I'm surprised they didn't put u in an air splint cast... it's an easy on/off support to wear while walking.  U can even wear normal shoes... Soaking in  warm,Epsom salt can't hurt nightly either.  But your going to have to prop the leg and rest it.   If the swelling is your leg... u need to definitely see the orthopedist.  U should see them if your ankle doesn't get better.  U might have a hairline fracture or worse.  Take it easy, rest the ankle and if it doesn't get better in few weeks go back to the foot doctor or orthopedist.

Rest Ice Compression Elevation Stabalization-- RICES the old standby regimen. You have to do all of these things or your ankles won't heal. Also use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as naproxen or ibuprofen. If the sprains are severe enough, you might even need crutches. You should probably go to an orthopedist or sports medicine doctor to figure out exactly what is best in your situation. Good luck! Don't let this get you down!

It could be a combination of all the things you mention.  Pain in the shins while exercising, commonly referred to as shin splints, is a condition where there is pain in the anterior tibia caused by overuse of the anterior tibilias muscle. They are most common in inexperienced runners or runners who overtrain. The pain is usually worsened by exertion and other factors:\n\n- Running on hard surfaces\n- Insufficient padding in the shoes \n- Over-pronated and/or flat feet can also lead to increased stress on the lower leg muscles during exercise\n- High arched feet can experience shin splint discomfort because this foot type is a poor shock absorber.\n\nThe treatment for shin splints is rest. Running and other strenuous lower limb activities should be avoided until the pain subsides and is no longer elicited by activity. In conjunction with rest, icing and anti-inflammatories may be suggested by a doctor or trainer, though there is some controversy over their effectiveness. A contributing cause of shin splints in some cases is the relative weakness of the muscles on the anterior of the lower leg compared to those in the calf. In this case exercises that preferentially strengthen the anterior muscles may help alleviate or avoid shin splints.\n\nIf you are just starting to run.  Take it easy and progress into a walking program first before running.

Just have the surgery, it is really not that bad, there is barely any risk invovled in ankle surgery and you don't remember what happened after the surgery. It will never get better otherwise and only will worsten and lead to major problems later in your life.

Hi well i actually done the same thing about 7 years ago while holding my daughter.I tore the lateral main ligament straight off my ankle.I was in a cast for 6 wks,came out that didnt help.Had physio for 3 mths thats didnt help.My foot was still giving away a lot by now so i was put on the waiting list for a operation.It involved stapling the main ligament bck on to my lateral side off my ankle,a cast for 6 wks,physio after.7 years on i dodnt really have no problems at all with my ankle,i get some aching in that area thats all.The consultant may want to do some sort off operation on your foot,as once you have torn your ligaments and you ankle is giving away the only option is a operation,i went through it all and nothing helped part from surgery.Good Luck anyway.

Having my ankle reset after breaking it skydiving! It was completely broken and facing 180 degrees backwards, (looked funny as hell!).\nLying face down on a gurney, the doctor was down at my feet and then pulled and twisted my ankle in an attempt to align it back up for temporary casting until I could be driven 60 miles away to a hospital that my insurance would cover!! He had to do this (3) times before getting it right...OOOWWWWW!!!!

It hurts when they tighten the wires.  Just take aspirin and plan on eating soup for a day or two when they are tightened.  Other than that it is no big deal.  I am happy for you I was happy to get mine and happy to get them off. Good Luck

No instant solution I'm afraid. I found relief by by putting a small electric blanket on it (hot pad). After three months I was due to have and orthopaedic surgeon operate on it but over just a few days it started to eventually get better. I was desperate, to the point of even looking forward to the operation. You have my sympathy. The worst consuming pain I have ever had, my triple heart by-pass operation was a doddle by comparison.

i walk around my house for a short period of time with ankle weights on, but don't use them in public.  don't use them to long or they could hurt your legs.

I think it all depends. I have gotten hit by a softball before and most have gone and healed within a couple of weeks. One time a got hit by a softballs on my right ankle and it swelled up immediately the size of the softball. I kept playing without putting ice on it. To this day I have a purple blue are and sometimes it hurts like I just bruised it again. Maybe I should have taken care of it when I injured it but then again who knows for sure. Anyway I think it depends.

Also try an ankle brace. You can buy one at a drugstore. They give support and ease the pain. I broke my ankle years ago, and if I wear shoes without good arch support, it aches. So then I put the brace on for a while. It's just like an Ace Bandage, but it slips on like a sock. Good luck.

Okay, I'm no expert, but when I had a sprained ankle and wrist, it hurt, but I could still move it around a little, when you brake a bone, it should swell up*more than it does when it is simply sprained* an get pink, maybe purple, then when you try to move it, it should feel like you don't have a joint, like if it is your leg or ankle, it is a ruler, and when you move it, it feels stiff and VERY painful and uncomfortable. And sometimes when you put it up it will make it feel better.\nAnd for a wrist, my bast guess is try to move it in a circular motion, if it swells, it is probably fractured, broken, or sprained, it might not swell, but that doesn't mean it isn't. To be able to give you an accurate answer, I would have to know what happened, how long ago it happened, and maybe some more information.

I ride about 1100-1500 miles a year.  I was riding 50-60 mile rides when I was 14, and now I do 100-mile rides once in a while.  I've never had sore ankles.  Knees, yes, but never ankles.\n\nI'd go to the local bike shop and have them look at your technique, saddle position, equipment, etc etc\n\nADDENDUM --\n\nSo, let me get this straight -- the asker knows he's "riding right" but he doesn't know if he should go riding today?  \n\nGosh, I'm a veteran rider and I use my local bike shop to check my riding form and seat position -- the asker must be wayyy more advanced than I am.  \n\nAnd, the asker has an injury / soreness that is not common with cyclists, so obviously hard core spandex guys like me shouldn't answer??
