Dude, there's some bomb solutions to this problem out there. My favorites are rollerblade shock absorbers like the six won six and the one I use is the USD shock absorber.

dude that sucks i did that last year. I wouldent wait for it to heal and I kept making it worse. I had to land everything switch for the whole season. It wasent good again until a couple of months after the season was over. Try to take it easy for a while or your gonna end up messing up ur whole season intead of just a little bit of it.

put some high dense foam in your shoes to prevent you damaging them more
