Today's Injuries

Unlucky Adrian,

I find with ankles that its best to keep them moving.

Not an injury as such but I had an appendectomy on Monday at about 12pm! It was a laparascopic one so I've not had a lot of pain - swellings almost gone as well. Might go for a jog tomorrow! Gulp! :D

Back from 3 hours in A & E as advised by physio after seeing ankle injury from HPM. They x-rayed and are not sure but I may have fractured my ankle along with significant trauma to the ligaments as the doc said. They reckon my ligaments could have pulled a bit of bone away from my ankle.

Off to see a specialist with x-rays in hand to get a final decision on Wednesday. Narrowly avoided a pot on my leg as I was able to hobble along with only a slight grimace.

Thats spring knackered then. Roll on June

Tough luck Tony, take your time and get it sorted properly, don't rush back, theres plenty of time.

Suddenly my niggly achillies doesn't seem so bad! :eek:

Bad luck Tony, sounds a bad one.

Well back from the Orthopedic department and I now have an air boot on there for the next 4 weeks minimum. Also a fair bit of physio booked.

Nothing broken but he said my ankle was "battle scarred" whilst he pointed out fragments of bone in it from previous injuries. I also have a mis-shapen ankle from untreated breaks which has healed in a strange way but is still full function if a little un-orthodox.

Haven't really took a significant hammering on it since teenage years and basketball days but must have had bits of floating bones and breaks in there since then.

So longer than I though before I am back. Also means no biking in the mean time. Specialist warned that if I do come back too fast it may knacker my ankles permanently and require either to stop running or surgery so will be following the instructions to the letter.

:mad: :(

thats a real shame anthony, hope it gets better soon pal.

how are you going to keep your self sane?
