broken ankle > looks like it

Goat · #1 (**permalink**) Apr 15, 03

playin soccer today in the cafeteria during my spare today. score the winning goal of the game but twisted/rolled my ankle. went down, lots of pain. UBER sore to walk on. hobbled home. didn't take off my socks to check it out till two minutes ago.

the 'it-looks/feels-broken checklist'
- applying pressure 3/4 of foot while standing hurts like a motherfucker
- ankle = size of softball
- a little bruise mark on one part that hurts like a yak in heat when ANY pressure is applied
- it hurts like fuck period.
as much as i'd love to go sit around in the er for the next 10 hours, i'll take the alternative path and weight for the morning and go to the walkin in clinic <-what a pun . just sorta bitchin cuz i have NO tylenol, chronic or any other pain relieving drugs.
:soak:

sadly, the winning goal wasn't worth it

dude, it may not be broken, but a really bad sprain.. i know cause the same thing happened to me but while i was @ work about a year ago, i twisted my ankle, heard a loud crack, it swelled up to twice its size and i couldnt even stand on it fer like 2 weeks, and there was a big lump that was purple and looked like it was broken.. but i went to the hospital and they said just a really bad sprain.. got a bit of $$$ from WCB too.

word man go to the walk in clinic..its quicker the the hospital plus you aint taking up room there that other people with more serious shit need.

spraining it is worse than breaking it.

i snapped my ankle playing basketball back in grade 9. the ankle bent 90 degrees, swelled up like yours and i couldnt put my leg down without it swelling up... it took like 6 months to somewhat recover to the point i wasnt on crutches anymore but i guess i was lucky since my ankle is 100% now

spraining it is not cool though... cuz there isnt that much you can do except go on easy on it and stretch it often

went and got it checked out. fuckin horrible sprain. can't play soccer, dance or hack for the next 3-4 weeks. can't walk for shit.
i wouldn't be able to go to twisted even if i could afford it.

makes me so sad :-(

lol, what were they chasing u for?

I sprained my left ankle super bad in grade 9 being double bounced on a trampoline..and it hasn't been the same ever since.

Umm stupid shit a while back... we took every single fucking pylon cone and had a bone fire in the middle of the skatepark.. and if you know the skatepark by town centre in coquitlam you know that theres 1 road that goes past the skatepark (the only way to get there) ..... so we thought we were safe.... then all of a sudden "STOP RIGHT THERE" .... so i briefly started to think arn't they supposed to say that AFTER you start running ? anyways we ran through the forrest and tahts what happened..... It wasn't like a serious offence or anything but when we were in the forest it was a rush... its like a little patch of forrest and we were ducking down and you can see cops all around the forest with flashlights... it was quite a night... but then again we left the cars and had to walk on my fucked up ankle for like 8 hours.... and then couldn't sleep.. it was torture :) but a gooood memory heh
