Don't risk the health of your leg by putting too much pressure, exercise wise, on it. Take the doctors advice. Have you seen a physio? It will benefit you as an athletic person as they can give you proper exercises for that particular muscle. Good luck.

I would stick with what your doctor says. You could re- injure your leg. And that would just mean more time not skating.

Yeah, it's possible. Doctors like to stretch the time, just in case. If i were you though, i'd take it slow... Don't work too hard on it, you may just make it worse. Good luck

The doctor does not know anything, go ahead and do what you want since you know best.

If you don't let it heal... you could end up damaging ligaments. If you keep damaging them you will need to have surgery. I have seen this happen just from not listening to a doctors advice. Take good advice. Let it heal or you will be sorry in the years to come.

i also had a sever sprain in June of 07 and it wasn't better till almost Nov of 07. still to this day if i sit on it wrong or if i wear heals, if still hurts a bit. i would stay off it just so i wont get worse and prolong it from healing
