I suffered what the ER DOC called a severe Class 2 sprain, during SUT. This was Apr 28th. I have been rehab'ing since then. I have a return date to SUT in approx 2 weeks. When I run I have a little soreness and pain during and after. I did my first ruck yesterday it was 5 miles, 45lb, dry, ruck. After the ruck my ankle hurt bad enough that I was limping. This lasted for about 3 hours. With what the rucks weigh in SUT I need to be able to carry alot more weight, alot longer. I'm going to ask the PA for a shot in my ankle to help during SUT. I've used up my 90 days recovery time so more time is not an option. Any ideas or experience, that could help speed up my recovery would be appreciated. The Doc has me doing toe pointing standing on one leg and calf raises. They helped alot at first but they don't seem to be helping anymore. Also they have me on motrin 3 times a day.
