So, long story short...

While Clay Galloway was nursing a sprained ankle back to health

Clay Galloway made the mistake of

not listening to the doctors and went surfing

My Advice to You is

when your doctor tells you to "Stay OFF your foot", you should probably listen to them

Here's the whole story

Basically, I'm lucky I didn't break my ankle but the doctors all said that I came really close and that I needed to stay off of it and not do any sports for a couple months. F@#k THAT!!! It was hurricane season and the waves were firing. I went surfing and everything was fine until I actually stood up. Then I feel over in pain and paddled back in. That was almost six years ago and even today my ankle still bothers me.

Yeah, but also make sure to go to a good doctor. When my foot was hurting, i went to the doctor and he said i just have stressed some tendons, so i soaked in warm water for a day as directed and then walked on it again. 2 Weeks later, i go to a different doctor due to worsening pain. Come to find out, i have 2 broken bones and some torn ligments could have needed surgery......oh and was told the warm water was worse for the injury.........thanks Doc.
