I think you know where I'm going with this. Who could lay some sports medicine knowledge on me? I'm wanting to know more about a high ankle sprain.Is it something an athlete can recuperate from quickly and return to action or is it somthing that could hinder, let's say, a NFL QB from returning to action within a few days?
Romo said a guy could play on it immediately after the injury because of adrenalin but he said it gets worse over the four days after the injury and can feel like a softball on you ankle. I know I've sprained my ankle pretty severely two or three times in my life and I could barely walk or days and it swelled to twice its normal size. I can't imagine trying to outrun professional athletes with a badly sprained ankle.
Let me ask the Bengals Board medical professionals another question. If your ankle has been compromised due to a high ankle sprain, is it something that increases the likelihood of injuring the ankle again? I know when I've hurt my ankle, it seems like if I'm not extremely careful, I'll roll over it again due to it already being in a weakened state.
I know very little about the medical side of this injury. Is it something an elite athlete can play with or can it be a real problem? I can't help but think it would have to seriously affect a QB's mobility and maybe even the ability to throw the ball down the field.
What's the verdict on this injury? Isn't this the same type of injury that has sidelined Cappa?
