Wait did you sprain yours?

I don’t have a recent sprain, but I have sprained it many times in the past and have just a slightest bit of remaining injury from getting run over by a car in September 🤣 

I was asking because @alexshul.eth has a sprained ankle and is being treated by the trainers at UW Madison, and this week she had her ankle scraped and I was like wtf is that and then I googled it but ofc have to ask farcaster too :)

adrienne don't tell me you sprained your ankle too

Yep! Do it all the time haha 

It helps breakdown scar tissue that formed during the sprain

Not sure how helpful it is early, might have to let it heal for a bit first

I've had my elbows scraped so many times... it's supposed to help break down the scar tissue.  

I don't truly know if it works or not though.

yep!! v common in sports i have had my knee scraped! the tool is kinda like this

Ankle scraping is a technique believed to improve circulation and speed up healing. Ensure proper technique and consider consulting a healthcare provider first.
