>>17004214 i dont need an asshat telling me to take it easy for another 3 months and ice it, because guess what , thats bullshit. thats recovery for lazy old fucktards, not people trying to be athletic.

>>17004264 No nigger. Go to a Doctor that specializes in sports medicine, not your pediatrics doctor. He can then tell you what kind of damage you've obviously done to your leg.

Know this feel, OP. was performing gymnastics and hyper extended my big toe by landing on it wrong, I still can't flex it completely without pain and it has been maybe 5+ months since the incident. Not sure when it's going to get better.

>>17004294 Also known as a doctor of physical therapy that deals with athletes. Also, walk in to your local uni, ask their Kinesiology department or athletic department where the training room is. Offer to buy someone(ATC or DPT) a beer to pick their brain/recommend a doctor in town. I'm a CSCS and former ATC, it sounds like you rushed the front end of rehab - aka, go slower faggot you didn't heal right the first time. But who knows over the Internet.

>>17004329 Nigger, then just quit lifting. If you've exhausted every cheap possibility, wasted 3 months not training instead of using 3 weeks of work to save 300 dollars to go to a doctor of physical therapy, just quit. I'm only telling you what your best option is at this point. Because you might as well just keep on foam rolling until next year when that shit repairs on its own.
