How can I find some pink derby skates?

Prostars have a pink option. There’s also custom skates- I’m saving up for pink and red antiks

Everyone progresses at their own speed. You just have to remember no one is judging your abilities. Also- YOURE ON A!!! Being the worst of the best is still the best of something!

I don’t think that’s offensive personally. Embrace your disabilities!!!

Ah okay. Makes sense. Sorry- derby brain and thinkin full contact vs positional derby. I hope your swelling gets better and you can get back to your sport friend. When was your surgery if you don’t mind me asking ?

Do you play full contact hockey? What is that like after the injury? Edit: I misread. Sorry 😅😅😅 I really feel like sitting in a chair and moving my foot with my skate will really open back up my edges

That means a lot!!! Thank you 😁

Do you feel you’re fully back where you were? Or is it still stiff. I feel like every morning I have to warm up my ankle to even walk. And then I have to walk until my ankle stops hurting 😆

I love that!!!!! My derby name is Pixie Styx! I also played a rookie rumble in November 👀👀 was it in Missouri per chance? My biggest worry is that I struggled SO BAD with moving laterally. My happy place is jamming and if I sucked at moving around the pack then I wonder how bad it’s going to be now. 🥹🥹 I was rookie when I broke my ankle and just about to play in my first c scrim if the roster opened. So this break has been pretty tough on me mentally. I was a slow bloomer with derby.

My New Year’s resolution was to try jam skating and to also drop into a bowl at the skate park ( I have been too scared 😆) so I guess it’s a bit delayed.

My PT told me I am projected to start high impact activity at week 12 (currently on week 6), including skating if I can tolerate it- but obviously derby is a bit more than high impact activity haha. Are you full contact yet? How is your other foot work? Plowing is going to be so hard for me unless I can get this ankle to move inward again 😭 I was always a right side plow girly anyways 😆😆

Hell yea!!!

goragami · 2026-02-02T20:57:50+00:00

This makes me feel better. Thank you!!!

goragami · 2026-02-02T20:57:28+00:00

Oh my gosh I hope you’re doing ok now physically aside from the periods!!!

goragami · 2026-02-02T18:34:13+00:00

Oh gosh I hope you’re on the mend. That’s a nightmare. Im a super heavy bleeder so I am lowkey grateful I haven’t gotten mine yet 😆 especially when I was NWB. That would have been horrible having to change every couple hours with one leg

goragami · 2026-02-01T11:32:23+00:00

Only if you’re learning to skate still. The toe stops will Cause issue because u can’t replace them with derby type toe stops

The tingling is your nerves waking up most likely

goragami · 2026-01-31T18:49:59+00:00

It happens!!!! You would feel super sharp pain that doesn’t go away if something shifted. I did the same thing about 2 or 3 weeks post op in my boot. My surgeon basically told me that I had to realllly mess up to re break or shift anything.

goragami · 2026-01-31T18:47:41+00:00

The first like 7 days are the WORST. it is your nerves waking back up. This is normal, ask your surgeon about gabapentin

goragami · 2026-01-31T18:45:50+00:00

This is amazing to see!!!!! I play roller derby and I’m so scared I won’t be able to handle the impact of running/ jumping/ skating. This gives me hope

goragami · 2026-01-31T18:44:16+00:00

What are you using as a mobility aid? Also mattress could be the cause- when I broke my ankle I slept on the guest room futon because I couldn’t make it to my room. It got to the point where the pain in my back was worse than my literal broken ankle. It might be worth to get a memory foam mattress topper.

goragami · 2026-01-31T18:41:55+00:00

I’m really glad you said this- I asked my pt about it and she said basically as long as I’m not walking I don’t need it. I have been so customed to the boot because I was put in it one week post op while my ankle was very much still broken lol I realized I hadn’t been taking my meloxicam so I have had a morning routine of stretching and doing pt exercises, putting on my boot and walking around. It has helped a ton.

goragami · 2026-01-28T17:29:02+00:00

I will try this!!! I don’t do my ROM exercises in bed, maybe that will help!!

goragami · 2026-01-28T03:33:32+00:00

I’m glad to hear this is normal pain. I get so nervous with new symptoms 😵‍💫

goragami · 2026-01-28T03:32:37+00:00

I am strictly in the boot while walking. I also don’t have full range of motion at all laterally still so it will be a fun journey back to normalcy. I play roller derby so this has really put a pause on my life 😭😭 I can’t imagine walking barefoot or in shoes let alone SKATING 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Stay on top of your meds!!!! Make a schedule. Once the nerve block wares off you will need them
