DragonRider Posted September 8, 2012 #1 Posted September 8, 2012 Today somehow while getting out of my SUV I got a shooting pain starting at my ankle and up my leg that almost put me on the ground. Just got back from Urgent care and I have a severely sprained ankle, I have never had so much pain, I thought I had broken something. So no work, no riding, no much of anything for a few days, it could be better by Monday or it may take a while have to use crutches, which I am not very good with........and to top it off, this was supposed to be a good day for me, but it was a rotten day, things didnt go well at work, my car didnt pass emissions test, had it tested to the tune of $94.00 to find out it was my gas cap, thats when I sprained my ankle, at the testing center. What a way to spend my birthday.
ragtop69gs Posted September 8, 2012 #3 Posted September 8, 2012 Well, happy birthday You could always sue the testing center and get a little birthday cash.
GAWildKat Posted September 8, 2012 #4 Posted September 8, 2012 Lewis, if you can't use crutches well demand a walker, I know they stink and make ya feel old, but it's better than falling and getting hurt worse trying to use crutches. If I could I'd loan you my walker, but 2 hrs it a bit of a drive for either of us. Get well quickly!
DragonRider Posted September 8, 2012 Author #5 Posted September 8, 2012 We have two walkers here, Charlene had to use them when she had her back surgery. I forgot about them, she is getting it out for me.

buddy Posted September 8, 2012 #6 Posted September 8, 2012 Lewis tape it up or wrap it to give it support and walk on it this will help it heal faster it will hurt like @%*@(* for a few days I now I had plenty of them when I was playing tailback in football as I kept it limber it dint hurt as bad and in turn they healed faster mine were so bad they looked broke from all the colors of the rainbow on my feet lol
tazmocycle Posted September 8, 2012 #7 Posted September 8, 2012 sorry to hear you're in pain! susan stepped off her sister's back step and fractured her left angle. she keep putting off going to the dr for 3 weeks and now she having physical therphry to loosen it up as she's been walking on her toes. therphist said she also pulled some ligament and her toes are turned almost straight up with her foot on the floor. it's going to be a long road to get it back right. do what the doc says and get well soon.

DragonRider Posted September 12, 2012 Author #19 Posted September 12, 2012 Its getting better, I can put some weight on it, going to the orthopedist tomorrow, still have a problem rotating the ankle. I was able to put my work boot on, and walked on it a little, but not sure I can go 9 hours in them. I will find out tomorrow. Hope the pain is easing, and you are feeling better
