Lower leg injuries and kicks

[biscuitsbrah]

So I fought about 2 months ago and I had a kick heavy gameplan. Kicked a shit load. Haven’t kicked that much in a long ass time, if ever.

Anyways my feet, toes, and ankles are still hurting. Doing partner drills and even kicking the bag still hurts. I constantly reinjure it in sparring and partner drills, and I don’t think road work is helping either. Even grappling hurts it a little sometimes. I can’t even do the quad stretch laying down on the floor because my ankles are so stiff it hurts both my feet and ankles.

I don’t mind the pain, but I literally can’t kick anything that isn’t a Thai pad more than 60% lol.

How do people deal with this shit? Is ice really the answer. I’m 31 though, so I guess it makes sense how Thais retire so young because the fights fuck up their body

It was like that for me back when I was fighting. Ice and rest, man. At least that was what worked for me. Not much you can do about it

Get a bicycle and start swimming. Do some low impact stuff for awhile. Don't go running and maybe buy some epsom salts and do warm foot baths in it.

Doesn't seem like kicking is worth it if it leaves you injured for months and is even impacting your other sports

Damn yeah. Just gotta deal with it. I forgot how bad kicking is on your feet and ankles.

Yeah I’m gonna listen to my body and limit the roadwork. I’m so heavy already though it’s bad

So why have you been left so debilitated

Because it’s the first time I’ve fought in 2 years. It’s something I’ve developed in my time away. I’m not sure I understand your question

Stop being fat!

My discipline is at an all time low when it comes to my diet

It’s like I can’t stop eating. I really want to be a flyweight again
