i just rolled my ankle.

[simon482]

went to go outside for a smoke and there is a 7" step from the sun room to the walkway outside. caught my foot weird on that step, rolled my ankle and landed on it. i heard a loud crack. fell sideways and landed on the wrought iron fence and broke that in several pieces but it cut the back of my leg. got up and i could put weight on my ankle but it hurt. so instead of standing to smoke i sat int he chair by the door. was a bitch of a time climbing back up the stairs to the second floor of my house to my room. it can't be broken since i can move but holy fuck does it hurt.

couple years ago i jumped out of a trailer and landed on a beer bottle and rolled my ankle. got a bone sticking out and it has never felt right since.

who else has a funny rolled your ankle story ?

Your foot could be broken. The fact that you can walk on it does not mean it isn't broken. Three years ago I rolled my foot/ankle in a pothole in the street. I limped on to my business meeting. The pain persisted so on the way home from work I got the foot x-rayed and learned that one of the bones in the foot (the 5th metatarsal) was broken. The doctor said that is the most common fracture for an ankle roll. I was in a boot and on crutches for 8 weeks. On the plus side, I got a permit that allowed me to park in handicapped spaces. Get a doctor to look at it and get an x-ray. And put an ice pack on the swelling.

If you heard it crack it might well be broken. Maybe only a hairline fracture but you should still get it checked out and x-rayed.

What to do with a potentially broken ankle:

1. Finish smoke in chair
2. Climb stairs
3. Post story on escort review board

LOL!

(JK). Throw a frozen bag of peas on it (make sure you have a barrier between the ice and your skin). Keep your ankle elevated to restrict blood flow and if the swelling/pain does not subside, forget the doctor and repeat steps 1 - 3.

i guess i just handle stuff differently. not saying what you guys are saying is wrong or anything. my mom raised me that unless it the bleeding couldn't be stopped or there was a bone poking out you never went to the hospital and you never took time off work. i suppose going to the hospital would be the right thing to do but i just feel weird going there when there is nothing visibly wrong. just like no matter how badly anything hurts i won't limp in public cuz i don't want people to think i am weak.

They invented xrays to detect problems that aren't "visibly wrong". If it hurts bad, get it checked out.

Yes, that is called common sense which maybe his mom did not have.

she raised me old school. hell i can't even say how many times i was sick as fuck and she got this stupid strip on my head and if it didn't change colour i wasn't sick and it never changed colour. so off to school i would go puking my guts out and hardly able to see. gave me a mother fucker of a work ethic.

I've have a really funny story. It didn't happen to me, but to my neighbour, real hillbilly type of dude stepped outside for a smoke and caught his foot on the step from his sunroom to his outside walkway. Man, when he fell we heard the crack from his ankle next door. Poor guy fell onto a wrought iron fence and broke that as well. We felt sorry for the guy, because he actually seems like a pretty decent, good-natured type of dude.
But that wasn't the funny part of the story. The funny part was when he fell, he stuck out his hand to break his fall, and he stuck his hand right inside his other neighbours' fleshlight, that somehow ended up on his side of the fence. So here's the poor guy in obvious pain from a probably broken ankle, but he's freaking out because he is wrist-deep into a recently used fleshlight.
Yah, it was pretty funny. But I hope he gets his ankle looked at ASAP rather than making use of his new fleshlight.

Geez that is strange.

every job i ever had i never called sick, was never late and never missed a day. no matter what. could tell you some stories about walking into work with concussions and bleeding and all kindsa shit that would make anyone else run to the hospital. smashed myself in the head by accident with a hammer worked another couple hours, stopped for lunch went to get stitches on my lunch break, then went back to work and finished the day. it may not be the right or wrong way but it's my way and the way i was raised. if it ain't protruding, bleeding so you can't stop it you suck it up and go do what you have to do.

In 2012 when you get a serious injury, you're supposed to post it on facebook then go to emerg.

i actually emailed my girl, then posted at the main forum i hang out at, then here, then facebook. i find the whole thing rather humorous but everyone is acting like you guys telling me to go get checked but all it has really done it made it so next time i hurt myself i won't be making jokes about it.

More proof that smoking is bad for your health... (Hey Simon, why the limp? Ah, it's just an old smoking injury.)

X-ray first, to be sure nothing is broken. Then while you are resting your ankle, search the forum for a post from a month or so ago on the same subject for suggested remedies and alleviations.

Get well.

I did that to mine playing football and it looked exactly the same. I was too stupid to get it x-rayed because there was a party following the game. In my case it did go back to normal but you got to be very careful in sports with sudden turns or skating on it. I found that it was much easier to roll on the second time.
