Chris-as you know I had a blood clot in my leg this summer. It started with a feeling like a muscle pull & I didn't remember ever having a moment playing when I felt injured. Then severe swelling & pain & finally numbness in my foot. An ultrasound is the only way to rule out a blood clot and if you have any similar symptoms do not hesitate to go the ER and request an ultrasound! Take Care! Amy Allen

I don't have any advice. But i can say that i fractured my ankle once playing wallyball and went to the clinic here. the doctor just looked at it and told me it was a sprain. So i wore a brace and played on. About 8 months later i was playing and came down on someone's foot (on my side of the net i hope) and i felt a pop. I crawled out of the court and when home the only thing that made it feel better was traction. that didn't seem good. So i went tot the clinic again and saw my regular physician. He ordered an x-ray. He said it looked like i had a small fracture in my ankle that had been healing - argh - but that my new injury was probably a separated muscle. I nursed that for a year. The worst part was the occasional massive cramps in the calf as it healed.

Sorry you're off the court for a while. I just got home from some games tonight. Have a great trip!
