As an update, still going strong since my injury, haven't reinjured my ankle or leg thankfully, it feels stronger then ever and so do I. I'm happy at the point I've reached again with my skating, finally progressing beyond where I got stuck with the injury(took four years). I did as much as I could with PT, massage and exercise, but I hit a wall due to scar tissue. I visited my orthopedic surgeon and he said there was nothing else I could do beyond what I already was doing to break it up. I got a lucky connection however, my best friend became an apprentice to this guy Bob who came up with a system to non intrusively break up scar tissue in the body. It's called resistance flexibility training, and it's incredibly effective treatment. You can find more about in by looking it up, Oprah endorses this guy, he's been doing it for like 20-30 years and he has worked on Olympic athletes, football players, and a bunch of other people who had serious injuries. They're pretty new age/ seem kind of hokey at first glance but it did wonders for my leg. Helped push me past the limits of my injury, get back to having a normal life again, not only with skating but walking, running, biking, swimming etc. They have centers in Boston, LA, Santa Barbara and NYC for anyone interested.
