Really REALLY not happy

[Maddee_6333]

Bang goes me doing that 15k event next week.

[Granspeed Graduate10]

😱Oh no! Whatever happened? Disaster, clearly. Poor ankle, poor you.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

Twisted it on tonight’s run. About 2/3 of the way round. Had to walk back to the car and drive home before I could do any first aid type stuff.

[Granspeed Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Ai yi yi. 😧Horrendous feeling when you know it’s gone wrong. Hope the ice, etc, sorts it out really quickly, even if the long event is a goner.

[linda9389 Graduate10]

Oh no! Ice and rest and fingers crossed there's not too much damage and it heals fast 🤞

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Just managed to finally get my sock off. It’s not good 😞

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Try to keep it elevated above your heart when you can, that will help circulation. Hugs xxx

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Can’t currently manage above my heart - stupid sofa - will be doable when I go to bed.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Oh no Maddie what the heck happened?

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Twisted it running this evening. I don’t even know how I managed to do it 😞

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Maddee_6333]

That’s bad luck, i send healing vibes and hope it goes down quickly

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you!

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Oh no! So sorry to read this. Rest and ice and healing vibes coming your way.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you 🙏

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

So sorry about what happened regarding your twisted ankle, I just hope you won't be off running for too long, but make sure it is completely better before restarting.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Will do!

I obviously temped fate the other day when I told someone I’d chosen a really long HM training plan to allow for injury🤦‍♀️

[skysue16 Graduate10]

Oh dear!! So sorry to hear about your ankle, you poor thing I do hope it improves quickly and doesn't hurt too much.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to skysue16]

Thanks Sue!

Right now it really does hurt 😓

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

🙁

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to skysue16]

Much better this morning 👍

[Coddfish Graduate10]

Oh no, that’s definitely not good. Take care, hope it improves soon.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Coddfish]

Thank you!

[Deals1 Graduate10]

Ohhh no. 😱😱. 🤞 Its improved a bit by the morning..

. Sending healing vibes

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Deals1]

🤞🤞🤞

Thanks!

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Oh Maddee. 😩😩 I’m so sorry. Was the footing dodgy, or was it sheer bad luck? What a shame, but hopefully you caught it in time to help it heal quickly. 🤞🤞🤞

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Sheer bad luck- I was on a lovely, wide, smooth path through local woodland.

It’s weight bearing, so 🤞I managed to do enough ICEing last night to help.

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Argghh, that’s so annoying. But weight bearing sounds hopeful. Fingers and toes crossed you’ll be up and running soon. 🤞🤞 In the meantime, look after yourself. 😀

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Will do!

[Hidden]

Oh no😱! Have just read what happened. Hope you recover soon Maddee!☹️☹️

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks! Weight bearing this morning, so hopefully nothing major has happened.

[Hidden in reply to Maddee_6333]

👍🤗x

[Annieapple Administrator]

So sorry 😐 Hope it’s less painful this morning. 🌷💐🌹🤗

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Annieapple]

Pain woke me up at 5:30, but is better now I’m up. And it’s weight bearing so that’s encouraging.

[Annieapple Administrator in reply to Maddee_6333]

Ooh poor you! Glad you can move on it. Keep it up high when you not moving around. Once the pain & swelling have subsided try writing the alphabet with your big toe. Physio told me this & I have never looked back. Used to sprain them all the time but not for years now. I do this when watching TV in the evenings. Xx

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Annieapple]

I’m currently trying to wrap my head around the conflicting advice of:

Keep a compression bandage on for ‘so long’ but don’t elevate your foot with it on... 👀

as my compression ‘bandage’ is a sleeve type thing and hurt like the devil to put on last night.

Not heard that one before 👍

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

Oh no that doesn't sound good... I bet you are fed up... not good

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

Really bloody annoyed, I was having such a lovely gentle recovery run as well. 😞

[misswobble Graduate10]

Ice is the thing! Keep those ice packs coming!

So sorry you hurt yourself. 😬. It’s a game innit 🙈. You’ll soon be up and about. Eat healthily, vitamin B-rich foods for healing 😃👍

Good luck 👍 Sending positive vibes your way 🙂

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

I’ve run out of ice!

I did find my super duper compression twisted ankle thingy, so I slept in that.

Oh good plan!

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

You make it in whatever vessel will hold water. Margarine tubs, takeaway dishes etc 😃. I had an ice factory going when I had shin splint 😃

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

If you can get someone to go to a physio for you they sell those ice packs especially for sprains. They’re really useful and mould to your ankle. I always keep two in the freezer just in case!

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Sorry to see this, good luck with recovery

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Thank you. 😊

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Oh no! I could write a book about ankle injuries 🙄 as I’ve sprained mine twice now so if you need any advice on the road to recovery let me know. You’re doing the right thing though.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

Thank you. Much appreciated 👍

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

Oh Maddee, sorry to hear you have sprained your ankle. Just before an event too.😐

Rest and ice. Lie on the bed with your foot high up on pillows for 20 mins twice daily. Boring but supposed to help drain the swelling.

Bag of frozen peas, they mould around your ankle, then go back in the freezer til next time. Not to be eaten though!

I hope it settles soon.😘xxx

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

I don’t eat peas, but I do get through a lot of packets of peas as First Aid.

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Shame to see you've injured yourself. I hope you are better today and wish you a speedy recovery 🤗🤗🤗

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Thank you!

It’s definitely not as bad as I expected it to be. And weight bearing. Weight bearing is good!

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

Yes it is. 🤞🤞🤞

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Sorry to hear this - hope it heals soon and doesn't disrupt your HM plan too much .

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

As a slightly older person, I think my safest option is to put it on hold until the Autumn.

[Hidden]

That looks ouch 🤕

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

It is! 👍

[Cantstopmenow Graduate10]

I hope you recover quickly x

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Cantstopmenow]

Thank you!

[davelinks Graduate10]

Sorry to see this, hope you're OK soon.

Makes you feel sick when you do it doesn't it, I've had episodes with my ankles in the past.

On Easter Sunday while walking at Junior Parkrun I had just collected up some equipment when I went over on my right ankle, had put my foot in a blind pothole which was covered by grass/weeds, after being careful for years running watching out for uneven surfaces and that had to happen, although only a low grade sprain it still bloody hurt bad, and I thought I had strengthened my ankles with running on trails, probably not enough, so more strengthening me thinks.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to davelinks]

Thanks!

No holes ever seem to be involved when I go over. 🤦‍♀️

[Jogunlikely]

😱 wishing you a speedy recovery xxx

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Jogunlikely]

Thank you! 😊
