injury!!

[clumsy fool]

heya everybody

I have a feis coming up this sunday but i've injured my left leg. I dont know how it happened but all I know is that when I dance or run its painful from my knee down including my foot. Its definitely getting better but im just wondering if ye think it'd be a good idea going Sunday? Have ye just powered through the injury and were fine or did it just flip ye up even worse? As I said before im not sure whats wrong with my leg but I know its not serious.
Thanks xx

Well, I'd say wait until Saturday if you can to decide. If it's not giving you any pain, you'd probably be good to go, but if you are in pain, it might be best not to go, since you wouldn't want to injure it any further.
I've had minor pain in my feet a couple times and competed, and it didn't make it worse, but that's not to say it wouldn't in your case.
If it gets worse, you should probably see a doctor in case it's a stress fracture or something like that.

Good luck if you do go!

i would say dance if you can. at my last feis, i sprained my ankle 2 days before the feis. i didnt know if i would be able to compete but i did and i ended up winning my reel. i would say dance if you can.

If you can power through the injury, then I would say go to the feis! If it hurts too bad and is ruining your dancing, I wouldn't go because you probably won't even place your best. Good luck if you do go to the feis!!!
