i tore my achillies tendon while warming up my tumbling.. i have a double, and i was doing a layout, and it tore completely.. i was out for 6 months and now im back doing pretty much everything.. my doctor said it would take 6 months to a year to get back. looks like he was wrong!

I broke my finger before putting hands down on a standing tuck.. Surgery wasn't fun. But I haven't really had anything major thankfully!

We just had our center top girl tear her ACL sunday night at practice landed a full with a straight leg. She's out for 4-6 months, right before worlds.. this happened to her last year too. Was supposed to go to Worlds and got some crazy disease that made her sick for a few months. Hopefully third time's a charm for this one and she can actually go and compete next year

poor girl! prayers from MD!

I've been really lucky and have never had any serious injuries. A few years ago I had stress fractures in both my elbows and wasn't allowed to tumble. A few months ago I jammed my finger and tore a ligament in it I still can't fit any rings on that finger.

I got completely decked out in a single down in like December? My flyer didn't bring her arms in enough so I got smacked in the nose. It wouldn't stop bleeding for a good 45 minutes.
Funny thing is, I got a cut from her fingernail too so my coach freaked.. I think a lot of people think I was bleeding because of her nail because of her reaction.

Fortunately i never had such a bad injury that it keept me away from cheering to long.

Reading your stories i have to say that most of you are beast!

I broke something inside my ankle jumping of a tighstand while catching a full from the 2-2-1. It was like 4 weeks before competition so i got a brace and as soon as it was not swollen anymore i taped it, put the brace on and did everything, even jumps.

On a camp i broke my left wrist catching a new flyer from a single full - she just jumped out while we were dipping down. I just did not have enough time to catch her right way

I just went to a x-ray and knowing what it was i just taped it. It was right before competition and there was no one who could do it.

I'm sidebasing so i thought it would be okay. That time it was - it hurt but i could do the routine, i can't tumble so there was no problem.

Today i must say that i really regret taking it so easy. I still have problems with my left hand, doing 10 bhs can be to much and i can't mainbase any stunts except straight up and full down. Doing tic tocs or full ups as a mainbase is just to painfull after a few times. The doctor told me that the bones just did not heal the right way (who wonders) and it would be difficult to fix it. So i'm a sidebase and backspot, it's okay for me.

This february i broke my nose - personally the worst insury of my cheerleading time. I knew that it was broken the moment the ellbow hit it, the flyer was still rotating and the doctor who did the surgery joked that it was kind of a puzzle to get every bone back to its original place. But now it's fine, i'm just wearing a protector every time i stunt because they told me even a light hit during the next 6 months could brake it again.

So i respect every cheerleader who continues practising or ending the routine with an insury - but please take care and listen to your doctor. Having life-long problems because you wanted too much too early can be really frustrating!
