ankle injury in table tennis

TT energy's picture

I really wanted to play today, but I twisted my ankle a week or more ago and it seemed to recover and is now getting worse.

It hurt every day for a week after I twisted it mostly for the first few days and then only in the mornings but it seemed to totally go away until after I played again.

It's so frustrating, I really wanted to play since I have great enthusiasm for getting to know my combination style game and was invited to play today but couldn't as I was limping around all day.  I can't put my weight on my ankle.

What should I do?  I have a swimming pool, it still hurts if I paddle with my foot.  I think I will go for a swim now and just keep up my fitness not using my foot at all.
