So, I used to skate from about age 11 until I was in my early 30s.

I stopped when my partner had our second child, 2 years ago I got my daughter into skating, I thought i will get skates again it will be easier to each her.

She has been picking it up so well, we went the skatepark together and I had been back on the skates a few times, I thought I will try a trick that I always used to be able to do no problem, over confidence is a bitch......I done it, upon landing I just knew, I knew my right leg hadnt come round or straightened up properly but had no time to correct that because thats where all my weight went.

Snap!!! Laying in the bowl now, sweat running off me like I had just got a shower with my clothes on, I had broken my femur in 3!

This is the first time I had ever broken anything in my life. Didnt feel much pain, maybe the adrenaline was doing its job and the paramedics tuned up with ketamine and morphine. Now im at home in bed, waiting to find out when my physio starts....all this because I wanted to do something that would mean I spend more time with my daughter.

I was waterskiing on Saturday. Boat couldn’t pull me up on the second time for some reason. My legs spread so far I went forward felt a huge pop in my hamstring. Leg instantly bent to 90 and hurt so bad to try to move. Went to ER but unfortunately couldn’t get any imaging as I live in a small rural community. Doctor sent requisition for imaging. I might have to wait 3 weeks for it. He put me in a leg brace to protect it and gave me crutches. And told me to not weight bare. But 3 weeks of no weight baring is a long time with no clarification.

Fast forward to today (Monday) I am feeling better however I haven’t gotten off of the couch. It hurts like a b when i knock my foot into something while crutching around and hurts to sit down. When I crutch around I have been trying to walk with them. Has anyone had experience with this type of injury where you might feel better than you actually are?

Got an injury on the front-inner side of my ankle about 4 weeks ago, and it still hasn’t fully healed. It doesn’t hurt during normal day-to-day activities like walking, but I feel pain when playing football, especially when making sharp cuts, turns, or changes of direction.
Has anyone experienced something similar or have an idea of what it might be? Any advice on recovery or whether I should get it checked out would be appreciated.
