Goosed ankle.
« on: July 18, 2011, 12:58:47 PM »
Twisted me ankle pretty badly 3 months ag, and re-twisted again up 'me 'ill' 10 days ago putting it back where it was 3 months ago, presumably 'cus it's now a weak spot.
I could bloody weep 'cus it 'urts loads when I put it under any sort of climbing up 'ill pressure, and especially as I've got this MONSTER big 'ill to clamber up in Switzerland in mid October.

What am I going to do, and will it just be me ankle or some associated giblets around it that I've duffed up like do you think? Shrugs:

Don't want to go to the quacks btw. noooo:

What about swimming , will help strengthen it without putting any weight on it and buggering it up any more ?

Thought about that, and have done a bit, but tbh, I'm an absolute dog in the pool. redface:

Consult your local pharmacist or the coaches at your gym about the right sort of ankle support to wear, ALL day and EVERY day, whilst you are moving about so that you rest the twisted ligaments. You should, with care, be fine by September.
Only resting the ligaments and/or heat treatment will help.

If you don't already have supportive walking boots invest in a pair.

Couple of sites that show the range of types and prices.

Good plan. I shall ask tonight.
They may sunscribe some special excercises torture for me to perform to help it grow better again p'raps. rubschin:

It's making me most unhappy and grumpy it is, and all self inflicted too by not watching where I was standing......and then slipping.
The lads at the garage where it happened genuinely thought I was 'avin' a n 'eart attack when I fell over, all red faced and holding me breath in absolute agony.
Werstest pain I've EVER had, and I very nearly did cry. sad32:

Make sure that when you go to the gym that you tell them and they will advise you on which exercises to avoid/amend, and which to do to assist recovery. I've "been there/done that", they will definitely tell you to not have the treadmill on incline as it puts additional strain on the ankle
