Ha ha

You've got to have respect for a girl who goes onto the internet and writes that about herself!

I doff my cap to you Jen!

I sprained my ankle last night - can only walk a couple of steps on it today.

Bored and been reading about type I, II and III sprains on the NHS website - tearing your ligament sounds nasty...

Ouch! - pretty sure I've only done a minor type II (a little tearing). As I understand it there's not really anything they can do other than surgically repair tears and they only do that for severe ones.

Currently just RICEing it!

Bruise looks like it might be quite interesting though!

Feel your pain mate !! My surgeon did key hole surgery first, then i had a moment on my Motorbike, when my ankle went into a spasm, nearly run over my own foot !!

So had the major operation, surgeon drilled a hole in my ankle bone and re routed the tendons through the hole ! 6 months of physio followed !!

Just try and rest it, keep it elavated to ease the swelling !
