For those who are not aware, i twisted my ankle badly 3 weeks back while walking over my car after working out at Consplant.
There was a construction going on and that's why the road being of an uneven surface. So when i landed my right leg on the floor, and i fell down in the street. Therefore, i sprained the ankle.
I know it was ridiculous! When i told my friends about this incident and they just couldn't believe it. But everybody has been very helpful when they got to know about my situation.
I had never thought that it would be so serious but when i came home, it really started to hurt. It was terribly painful and so very swollen that i just couldn't walk properly.
My friend had been asking me to ice the ankle, as it helps to reduce swelling. However it did not seem to be helping much.
Couple of days later, i went to see the doctor who recommended by pals. The doctor told me that there was a dislocation and also internal bleeding. He set the dislocation alright and wrapped the ankle with bandage.
Now i have to walk on tiptoe to avoid too much pressure being placed on the ankle. I can bear weight but if i put my foot flat on the ground and lift the front of it up, i can only go so far and it starts hurting.
It may take one to three month(s) to get fully recovered, said the doctor. OMFG! Why is it taking so long to heal? It's been more than two weeks since my first visit and i didn't seem to get any better. I was asked to return for my sixth check-up tomorrow.
Anyway, i am getting around better with bandage wrapping around the foot and i hope to heal up soon. Damn, i miss my workout! Sigh~

don't walk too much if possible as this will more or less put pressure on your injured ankle. stay away from cold water as always. last but not least, get your ankle x-ray dear.
take care.
Sigh.... Who would have such a poison heart to curse such a lovely lady like you? That person must be really bad!
Sprained ankle takes longer time to recover. Been there, done that. If the next visit to the sinseh didnt help, please do visit another doctor for second opinion ok? I have the ankle guard if u need ya.
Walk less, rest more :)
Hopefully it won't drag me for 3months. Now i'm trying to rest my ankle as much as possible, and i hope it will help.
Fingers crossed!
The person who has put a curse ON you obviously has no heart. It should be called an...animal (oops... even animals have emotions...). OK FINE I don't know what it should be called then....urm...Heartless...CREATURE? Aha.... yes that shud be the term...
seeing u walk back to the office the other day really wrenched the heart.
Hoping and praying you'd get well soon...
