Ankle swollen almost 3 times it size. Ok so don't ask how because I have no clue.It is so brusied it looks black just under my ankle. In truth it has been hurting for atleast a week. I typed that and it hit me maybe when I rolled it last thursday. I have been fighting migrains and sinus pressure pretty bad would make sense I ignored it. Wouldn't be the first time.

I sent Amy a picture with my phone. Trying to get it off my phone.

Ok so this is with the phone and not so great.

Ooh that looks like it hurts pretty bad! I've rolled my ankle before! Not pretty! I stepped on a tennis ball and that's how my ankle rolled....almost litteraly lol. basically the ball moved and my foot went with it but in a different direction and stuff...idk exactly it was last year...

my dad is an orthopedic surgon (a bone doctor) and when i rolled BOTH of my ankles (about 4 months apart) he told me to wrap it, ice it and keep it elevated and keep off it. by wraping it some of the swelling should start to go down. i know when i had mine wrapped it was only swelled in the places where there was no wraping covering my foot.

hope your ankle feels better, i know that totally stinks.

Yikes! That looks awful. Would RICE help at this point?

Migraines, hate 'em! Sometimes Wal Mart Generic for Excedrin Migraine will work but sometimes it need a Zomig. I always ask my doc for samples when I am there but he has nurses with migraine who usually get to the samples first. Hope yours are better.

You poor thing!

That's a nasty bruise but the swelling would concern me more. Probably raising your leg, limit salts, drink lots of water (flush the fluids out) and a cold compress..... take a couple of tylenol and call me in the morning......

Will do to all. Ok so it hurts when I walk! What am I supposed to do today?? Go to the Big E. I want to go. I more than likely will.

That looks extremely sore...ouch! You probably need to stay off it as much as possible to help it heal (along with the other suggestions). Though if you're going to the fair, well...I suspect a doctor would say to stay home. (If it were me, I know what I'd do...lol) So if you do go out, maybe try to sit and rest as much as you can in-between things. If you had access to a pair of crutches that might help too. But I'd suggest you definitely get it checked out, just to be sure there's nothing torn or damaged inside. Just be careful you don't wind up hurting yourself more. :hug:

I think my mom has crutches.:biggrin2:

 

[mouse_chalk]

OUCH! That looks painful! I agree, rest it well and lots of ice!

Big E? Would that be the emergency room?

I hope you feel better soon! :hug:

Ali, You might have torn some ligaments or something - you need to be very careful. If nothing else, wrap it in an ACE bandage and get a wheel chair - make everyone push you around......

I thought you'd finally had enough of stupid customers at work and finally stuck your foot in their behinds..

That would be awesome. We have the electrical ones at work.

Want to know what is making me happy? I fit into a size 12 again! I haven't since highschool.

 

[BlueGiants]

Wow! That is quite an accomplishment! Good for YOU!

But how is your ankle this morning? Still swollen? Looks really sore. I got my daughter a compression bandage that slips over the ankle (from the local pharmacy). It worked real well when she rolled her ankle. (Sincerest sympathy on the migraines. I get them too. UGH!) Are you taking an anti-inflammatory? Tylenol? Ibuprophen? Something?

Hope it's feeling better soon...
