Hello...I'm new. Though I am sure you will have realized that before even reading this. (I am also completely new to tricking.) But anyway, onto my question...
When I try to do my left front split (can't do right leg for shit), I have a very strange pain on the right side of my ankle. And well, it hurts. A lot... To the point where I can't stretch my left leg sometimes. It almost feels as though it is the tendon that is hurting. And I am curious as to whether or not anyone else has ever had a problem similar to mine. I have googled the issue and have come up with nothing.
The strange thing is that when I did gymnastics (for 9 years, quit 5 years ago though) I never had this problem. Granted, I never got anywhere near all the way down. I only just started working my splits again back in early August (you can thank the Olympic Gymnastics watching for that) and have since gotten way farther down than I ever did way back then. Even still I am not all the way down (only about 8 inches left)...
But anyway, I really want to know what the fuck is going on with my ankle. It even hurts in a pike stretch, and a few others that I use to help get my split lower, whose names I do not know.
Any thoughts?
