For those of you who have delicate ears, close you eyes for a few sentences... Damn, stuff, balls, f&&&&&&&&.

Played badminton tonight and badly rolled my ankle. It was twice the size of my left ankle before I even left the gym!?,

That's no running for a week or so.

Grrrrrrrr

Frustr

OMG !!! That looks soooo painful, oh that must hurt , I hope youre okay soon. Oh what a shame for you.

Do you think you should maybe go to your local Minor Injuries Unit just so they can give it a once over ? When I did mine, they suggested icing 4 times a day and painkillers, but it wasn't half as bad as what that looks, sorry don't mean to be the bearer of doom and gloom and all that .

I need to go look at some pics of puppies and kittens now to get that image out of my mind :-)

I wish you a speedy recovery, Good Luck :-) xxx

That looks nasty. Are you sure you haven't cracked your fibula? Might need an X-ray.

Oh dear, a crocked ankle! Every runner's worst nightmare. We've all been there though and they take a varying length of time to heal depending on how old you are mainly and how bad the injury is of course. It could take 3 weeks if you're lucky but there's not much else you can do but sit it out

Darn it!

Ouch!!! I agree with the initial diagnosis: No more running for a while (not sure on the duration... could be far more than a week). That sucks big sweaty ones!!
