Hey! I'm doing okay. Still working through the tendonitis, so no jumping. The ankle is doing better, but I've got to get it fully loosened up before I get back into it. Thanks for asking!

Yes, I do prefer to be able to walk! ;)

Seriously, though, limping around work has not been awesome....

Not bone.  It's either muscle or tendon, but I could not say which.  I'm babying it as much as I can.

Thanks, Joe!  I'm definitely being careful.  I iced it afterwards and that seemed to help a lot.  I work this morning and have it wrapped as a precaution.  As weird as it may sound, I think I will ice it after work before doing Day 5.  If it's feeling okay, I'll do the thing; if I experience sharp pain again, I will sadly NOT do the thing today.

Thanks!  It more like coming back from being hurt - I broke my foot on 7/31/22 and was in a boot for 10 weeks.  There was no bone growth showing on my x-rays until late October and it was only just starting at that point.

I had my foot x-rayed again at the end of February and the break had finally fused together.  (It isn't pretty, as the break was displaced, but the bone is at least one piece again.)  Since my foot is just recently healed, it isn't used to this kind of activity anymore and my ankle had become pretty stiff after not being allowed to flex for 10 weeks, so it has been a process getting that to loosen up.  I'm almost there, though. :)

Like you said, things happen!  So, it will just be T-S for you this week.  No biggie! ;)

I'm not a doctor or PT, but based on my own personal experience, if they are no longer hurting, you should be able to jump regularly (but NOT extra just yet).

DEFINITELY keep doing the tib raises, though.  It's the only thing I've tried that has kept the shin splints away.  I make sure I do them and some calf raises.  My shin splints were SUPER painful and I do not want to ever experience that again!  (I'm sure you don't, either!)

The shin splints aren't getting any better?
