I broke my right ankle in a racing crash a couple of weeks ago. The outside leg bone (don't know if its the fibia or tibia, but it's the small one) broke just above the end of it. So the outer ankle bone in other words. I am in a cast probably for another 4 weeks.
Have any other racers out there had this same injury, or a similar one? Any advice on getting back into racing form? Also, this is the first time I've ever been hurt, and I'm worried that it's going to slow me down.
Lastly, I am thinking of buying a pair of Daytona Safety boots. They have a hinged carbon-fiber inner shell that prevents your ankle from twisting. I thought this would be a good way to prevent a re-injury, but the darn things cost $750 (from Helimot). Anyone have these boots? Good idea? Know where I can get a better deal?
Thanks
