last night at the gym i was playing some basketball and turned my ankle.. looks like someone cut a softball in half and stuck it to the outside of my ankle.. ced it in a bucket of cold water and wrapped it with a 3" ace.. maybe i'll hit the hot tub today..
That sux bro,I'd stick with the ice as long as it's swollen and skip the hot tub for now. A stirrup style splint that runs up both sides and can be worn with a regular shoe is a good way to support the lateral ligaments so you don't invert it again while it's weakened. If you can't find a stirrup splint let me know and I'll hook you up.
it swells up so bad that by ring toe and little toe are bigger... but this is no less than the 8th or 9th time i've done it to this ankle.. and i have to ankles.. just bad knees and feet
thanks for your concern.. it about to the point today that i can walk on it again.. most of the pain is gone.. swell will go away tonight.. well most of it..
Yeah, When I used to play football I had to wear supportive ankle braces to keep me from rolling over my ankles. You might want to give it a try. If so get the kind with the removable side plastic supports. Good luck bro!
I know how you feel Gear. Mine happened 2 years ago and still hurts at times. Took a week to go down and still was black and blue for another week. Didn't go to the doc. Probably tore something and should have went. Hope you get better bro!
found something that worked really good.. went to the drug store and got one of those neoprene ankle wraps.. not too tight not to lose.. but just right to keep pressure on it.. sometimes when i use an Ace 3" i get it too thigh or to lose
