they took her to hospital the next day where she got checked for torn ligaments. but i don't know how it turned out.\n\nshe definitely was in extreme pain but she said she was confident about being able to pull off the rest. it just showes what the human body is capable of when having enough willpower. \ntho i gotta say, if i had been there, i would have pulled her out of that ring. i almost couldn't watch when she continued, i felt so bad for her and i was very concerned about her health.

I'm no expert, but I would recommend minimizing her torso movement as much as possible. Icing the area could help as well, but do it carefully. No more than 10 minutes at a time, or else you can actually do more hurt than good with ice.\n\nI don't know what the doc recommended for pain reduction, but most of the time it's either heat or cold. With a back strain or spasm or the like (muscle problem), it's usually heat applied. With a break or sprain or the like, it's usually ice. I'd double-check with the doc before you do anything. Minimizing movement is important, though. Any movement of a broken bone is painful...ribs will likely be more so.\n\nI hope you can find something to help her. :-) Broken ribs are a difficult injury to deal with.

Second time I've seen this video today...the girl is not actually hitting them--and even if she tried, they probably wouldn't feel much pain, because she isn't executing her techniques properly. \n\nThe strikes she does would hurt someone if done properly, but this demonstration isn't realistic; the attackers often stand there and let her hit them. They don't resist in a realistic way. What is pictured in this video is not proper or effective self-defense.\n\nAnd as for her stepping on the guy's stomach: (1) she probably doesn't weight that much, (2) she only stepped on him briefly, and (3) he probably tensed his stomach muscles, which would subtract some of the pain. (Poke yourself in the stomach with your abs relaxed; then tense them and poke yourself again. Your finger goes less deeper when your stomach muscles are tensed, which cuts down on the pain response from your internal organs.)\n\nP.S. What you're seeing isn't karate; it's probably sport taekwondo. If you actually want to learn karate, try a traditional version, such as Shotokan or Goju-Ryu karate.

I don't do heavy squats-but I do squats & lunges every day.  I have experienced the same type of discomfort before.  I think it was a severe sprain/strain.  Give it some time to heal.  Ice, ICE, ICE as much as possible.  After a few days try the squats w/ less weight than usual. If pain occurs-back off again for a while.  Mine took a few weeks to resolve.  \nGood luck.

You need to get this checked out immediately -- you should at the very least tell your coach!  It could be any number of things.  Iif it's in the tendon, you may have torn or sprained your Achilles tendon.  If it's in the heel of your foot, you may have injured the fascia.  You may also have caused a stress fracture in a bone in your foot.\n\nIn any case, ignoring it is just about the worst thing you can do if you really plan to continue being a competitive skater.  By continuing to walk and skate on it, you may end up turning the injury into a chronic problem that will keep popping up and causing you pain from now until the end of time.  GO SEE A DOCTOR and don't delay any longer!

Yes, and it hurts like hell! Just alternate heat and ice every 20 minutes, and it will help a lot. I did this by powerwalking. It takes a while to heal. My doctor put me in a walking boot so I could continue to walk. Just be patient!

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!!!!

You may have damaged the end of your tail bone I did the same when ice skating

Yes! I broke my ankle at my local swim club, and I could not go to the Dominican Republic. It totally sucked! For the rest of the summer I could not do ANYTHING. Even now I can't dance (I've done ballet since I was 3) or play sports as well as I used to. Never brake you ankle! :)

Go to the hospital!!! My friend did a similar thing with her ankle, and it wasn't pretty. The hospital did a good job so I recommend thats where you go and what you do!!!

No, I don't think she's skating anymore, but her sister Emily is. If Michelle Kwan is not fit to skate (she's been injured), then Emily Hughes will be on the team.

I love Sasha but she cannot ever seem to compete during competitions. She has a wonderful grace about her but she needs to stick her landings and she's not doing that, she can never seem to skate a clean long program.\n\nIf she couldn't skate a clean long program at Salt Lake or Torino, why should she put her body at risk so she can fail again? I know that sounds awfully negative but if the shoe fits.\n\nShe needs to retire and go on tour with a program like Stars on Ice. She's a very good exhibition skater and I'm sure there are tons of girls who would love to watch her on tour and she would save her body the punishment of rigorous training.

I dont think she will lose he endorsment only because she fell.  She thought she had it won, so she desided to show off a little bit. That probly hurt her more than the silver medal.

the part of her brain that controls those muscles was probably damaged. physical therapy is the best bet for improvement but not a sure thing

tape the toe to the toe next to it. wrap some tissues around the whole thing and dont tie your shoe too tight. you'll be ok as long as you go easy on it. i took karate for a long time, and broke the same toes several times. its sucks. painful, but not life threatening.
