queenofthe1ring's Journal: ankle

Back in December (like the first weekend of December) I did something bad to my ankle. I call it a sprain, but I'm not sure that's the proper term for it, since I never saw a doctor about it. I kind of twisted it and landed on it taking a bad step down off a curb.

It never really stopped hurting, although I regained most mobility and could walk without much pain. It would more flare up every now and then based on what shoes I wore and how cold it was.

Anyways, last night as fiance and I were leaving campus I managed to take a bad step on some uneven pavement and wrench it pretty good again. It didn't hurt as much as it did the first time, but now the pain is quite noticable again.

I suppose I need to start looking for a doctor here. Right now I don't think it is strong enough to drive on (it's my right ankle) and I don't want to burden fiance. At least I brought my ankle brace with me. That should help with my random stumblings around the apt.

Both you and your fiancé should learn to tape an ankle properly. Also, ice your ankle 2-3 times a day, keep it elevated most of the time, take ibuprofen for pain/keeping the swelling down...

Ankle injuries take a while to heal. Having a doctor on hand is not a bad idea though...
