Bad feeling about Poythress injury and Hawk...

Others have provided evidence of high ankle sprain recovery times, you refuse to accept anything other than your own opinion, which is obviously based upon...nothing.
Took me 10 seconds to find this info:
6 weeks to 6 months...
What is the Recovery Time from a High Ankle Sprain?
High ankle sprains are more severe than the common ankle sprain and will normally take longer to heal. High ankle sprains must be diagnosed early stage and appropriate treatment initiated, which does differ from a lower ankle sprain.
Syndesmotic injuries heal slower than the more common low ankle sprain, which is why health professionals are often more concerned about "high ankle sprains."
Grade 1 - Mild
In mild cases, you can expect full ligament healing at approximately 6 weeks, but it may take longer to prepare you for functional sport again.
Despite most people being told to simply “rest” and it will recover, we find that these mild sprains often result in joint stiffness, ligament laxity, muscle weakness or tightness plus reduced proprioception (balance and joint awareness).
If not adequately treated these often cause your ankle and foot joints to compensate movement at adjacent joints, which can lead to several other injuries months or years down the track.
Grade 2 - Moderate
Grade 2 injuries occur when you have a significant ligament injury that allows the ligament to excessively stretch. In most cases these injuries result in a recovery period of 6 to 12 weeks. With increasing injury severity, the rehabilitation process becomes more complex and extensive.
All Grade 2 injuries should be thoroughly rehabilitated to enable:
- full range of motion
- full strength
- full proprioception
- full power and agility
- full return to sport-specific drills
Grade 3 ligament injuries are when the ligament is completely ruptured. More severe high ankle sprain injuries can also include fractures of the bones or high ankle sprains, which will require additional rehabilitation time to a simple ankle sprain.
If the injury is unstable, then a "syndesmotic screw" can be placed between the tibia and fibula to hold the bones in proper position while the syndesmotic ligament heals.
Patients will have the screw in place for about 3 months while the syndesmotic ligament heals. Patients should understand that if they walk on the leg while the syndesmotic screw is in their leg (even after the ligament has healed) the screw can break. The reason for this is that there is normally some motion between these bones when people walk.
The rehabilitation of a Grade 3 ankle sprain normally takes 3 to 6 months, but is quite variable depending on your specific injury. Your physiotherapist or surgeon will be able to provide you with more specific guidelines and advice.
You just brought a bazooka to a paper wad fight.
Rupp had a lot to do with Roswell. Its how he landed Dan Issel. What? You didnt think Issel was human did you? lol
Crap, that got me tickled.
I don't put anyone on ignore. I prefer to watch the monkeys rub their own poo in their faces.
When I found out I was a racist for rooting for one of our own....I found ignore.
