No running today😞

This is my poor ankle now after just walking on it. It’s not stopping me walking and feels stiff more than anything but think price is in order for a day or two. Gutted!

Hi Shoot,

Feel for you, when did the pain start and have you applied ice and taken anti inflammatory tabs?

Hopefully after a couple of days rest it’ll improve for you, if not I’d get it checked out.

Yup I’ve taken ibuprofen and iced it. It feels stiff not really painful. Unless you press directly on it!

Thing is it doesn’t really hurt, just feels stiff and it feels loads better after a good old stretch. Just think it wise to rest it for a day or two.

Keep an eye on that as it might be cellulitis- have you been bitten at all?

Ouch ! Raise it up, I second the check for insect bites, make sure it's just "normal" swelling, maybe ask the pharmacy ?

Not what you're looking for?
