I know, I was trying to cheer him up but I think it may be too late for that, he's already grumpy as hell about it. Sympathies to all who have injured themselves this weekend and I'm relieved I'm not one, not this time.Quote:

Sore again today after coiners race yesterday, more strapping and a bigger hole in the sand needed.:angry:
Major case of groundhog day, I am sure I did'nt turn my ankle again on Sunday but it started to hurt up the side of the round sticky out boney bit on the outside of joint. It was manageable whilst running but now two days on and I can hardly walk on it, any ideas anybody. Oh and its rather swollen now :-(
Uh... reading back on this... did you actually get diagnosed with a full on ligament rupture- as in, the ligament is in 2 bits...?
My physio likened it to a piece of plasticine stretched past its elastic limit but not snapped. This is in a different place as damage was more on the side of my foot where this is higher up the joint but the bone feel very tender to the touch now.
well... its all very connected down there... I'd ice it and get it properly checked out by a sports doctor who can actually diagnose what the heck is going on there. and take some enforced rest. Maybe not the answer youre wanting, but what I would do.
Thanks for the advice Zephyr, you are correct rest is needed.
I've wrecked my ankle again yesterday morning. Rock gave way under me on a narrow path choked with undergrowth and I fell with my foot underneath me. It was pretty painful at first but I was able to run the remaining 2 miles or so back to the car albeit slowly and in a bit of discomfort. Today it's the size of a grapefruit again and my whole foot is swollen and going purple. Lovely, just what I wanted.
I've not bothered getting it looked at (I don't see much point really) so I'm just R.I.C.E.'ing it and hoping I can walk on it ok tomorrow for work. I can sort of hobble but that's about it today. Fingers crossed for a swift recovery.
I suffered a badly swollen leg following knee surgery after I started back running too soon after the op (2 weeks). The swelling just wouldn't go away, until my physio told me to elevate my leg above my waist at every opportunity, so that the fluid could get past my knee where it could be re-absorbed. I did this while watching TV etc and slept with my feet on a pillow. The swelling soon went away.
I still get swollen legs after high mileage walking (over 30 mile), but following this procedure it's gone in no time.
