Does anyone know long term effects of jumping?
im a senior and pretty much have been injured since junior year of high school. ive done track since i was 8 and have been a 100, 110 hurdles, 200, 300, 400, 400 hurdles, 600 and 800 runner at some point before now. but i also do triple jump, long jump and high jump./ long jump since i was 8 and the other 2 since freshman year. but ever since freshman year after i set the school record in triple jump (41' 8) and freshman record in long jump (19' 8) i have basically only been doing long jump triple jump and high jump since then. and now, i only jump 20' 8, 6'2 (not bad but if not for pain, i could jump way higher) and 43' 8. but i stopped running pretty much since we only had 12 boys freshman year and now over 30 for the boys team and we had loads of distance runners who ran the 400 since my coach doesnt really believe in sprinting (also coaches xc and distance runners). and this year, 110 hurdles. but its gotten to the point where i can only stand for less than 10 minutes without pain, it hurts to jump, i have injuries in both my ankles, both the inside and outside of my knees, achilles pain in both feet, possible toe breaks/sprains and shin problems. and me doing those 4 events have pretty much been what i have done every meet. does anyone know of anyone who did the same events and how did they turn out because its gotten to the point where the doctor said this could possibly have long term effects when im older?
