  • Oh for crying out loud (sprained ankle)

    I sprained my ankle today while walking the pooch. I'm pretty sure I tore a ligament as I heard something snap.
    Doc made me go for xrays, no breaks or fractures thankfully.

    But it's really sore and throbbing like a horny teenager.

      I twisted my ankle about a week ago and it hurt slightly for a couple days after that. It's fine now.

      Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

        Thanks guys

        The timing on this is particularly grand, since I'm leaving for Canada on the 9th to visit my parents. HAHAHAHAHAH

            how bad was the sprain? ( you know you have a bad sprain when the doctor is wondering why the ankle isn't broken. Surprisingly, the thing healed up QUICKER than the doctor said it would. ( they said it would need crutches for a month. I could *probably* have ditched the crutches after 3 weeks, but I figured I may as well take it easy for the full month.)

            My only advice is to invest in some good ice-packs. ( IIRC, I put them on for 10 minutes each hour when I was awake, it helped a LOT.)

            Oh, and follow any advice the doctor's given you about moving the ankle- you need to be careful, as a sprained ankle can affect the range of motion of the ankle, even after it's healed.

            (amusing side-note- when my parents came back from returning the crutches, apparently people don't tend to bother returning them. I was wondering why they looked brand new...(they thanked my parents for returning them))

              *snicker* The Navy hospital just hands out the crutches and does not require/request them back. Rob has 3 sets of wooden and 1 set of aluminum axillary [armpit] crutches, I have an aluminum set of axillary crutches and 2 Canadian [forearm] crutches [a blue set in standard, and a custom set of folders in purple] When our roomie broke her ankle, we had more than enough crutches to keep her supplied [I also have a couple canes, a plain aluminum and a blue/black patterned one.] [It looks just like the one in the middle. My nonfolding canadian crutches didn't cost much more than one of the similar fancy canes at the drugstore, as I remember, something like $35-40US. The custom folder was fairly expensive though, a couple hundred $$.]
