Swelling has gone down considerably thanks to icing and wearing a compression sock. Did a 5 mile run tonight including 2.5 mile @ tempo pace with no pain, swelling or otherwise. I must just be a drama queenas clearly it wasn't as bad as I thought. It did look it though.... honest

Be careful. I have had problems with my ankles and still twist them every now and then. Like you it rarely causes me long term problems but once you start going over you may find it happens more and more. Do all the exercises that you will read about on the forum and you may be ok. Don't be complacent. Go on the r**d for a while if necessary.Originally Posted by Yorkshire Rob

Already way ahead of you there
It can be strangely addictive. One minute I was running on t****c, the next thing I knew I was in the Loch Ness Marathon. Have barely seen a hill since Borrowdale. I am going cold turkey now and have locked my flats away.Already way ahead of you there
Done it again!! Same ankle, 4 weeks later and this time it went whilst walking down a ramp at work and sent me flying. It's now the size of a grapefruit again and extremely sore. I went to hospital this time and had it looked at and strangely when they x rayed it they found an avulsion fracture on the lower edge of the malleolus which they said looked old (possibly the original injury?) but they weren't concerned about it. They point blank refused any sort of scan even though I told them about having an operation on the other ankle for exactly the same injury so it looks as though I'm probably going to have to nag the gp or go private like last time. Bloody NHS drives me mad at times.
Sorry to hear about that YB. Just got running on my knacked ankle today, 5 weeks after humungous sprain. Seems to be holding out OK but I know I am just one unguarded moment away from square one like thissen!
I'm running in a brace at present just to give it some healing time as I keep pulling it before it's had time to heal up. All well so far
update - finally had and got MRI results which show damage to both CF and ATFL ligaments plus bone marrow oedema in the malleolus, talus and calcaneum. That said, I'm now running on it without a brace and it seems reasonably sturdy at the moment. I've been referred to orthopaedics so I'll see what they say
aaarrrhhh the joys of fell running twisted my ankle sunday bruising coming out
training off for a few days (bugger)
I'm confused? Has this thread been constructed out of lot's of other threads? I thought I started this one, but now it goes back to 2007?
Have you been tidying up Brett?
