Well at least, you're still able to walk. It's better than what i have which is permanent dislocating legs.

Hope you get soon my friend, try to relax as much as possible.

Take care

Hey there! Ligament twist, eh?

On February 23, 2006 I did the same thing. I got 2 x-rays to make sure there was no fracture. ...

My ankle never healed. It's been over a year, and still just as bad as the day I did it.

After months of physiotheropy on it, I gave up and just accepted the fact that I'll never be the same.

BUT THEN!

I moved in with a girl who does "laser theropy". In Canada, it's not very popular. The doctors don't tell you about it because they don't get any money to write references. But I tell you - it heals alomst anything. It's amazing!

So! if it gets to the point where your ankle just doesn't heal, ask me more about the laser theropy, it's really great!

Yeah I did in my ankle 3 times in a similar fashion, i found that ultrasound really helped it heal quickly in conjuction with physio and special exercises. They still take a full 3 months to heal completely, I could still ride on it before then but it would twinge occassionally or have periods where it was uncomfortbale.

Dude that sucks so bad I hope you heal fine and can uni again just fine. I twisted my ankle like landed on the side of my foot trying to hop of a bench and I can say twisting ankles sucks

now my ankle is becoming a little black because of the blood on it.
now have been 24 hours from the accident and i was wondering in start the treatment with ice and hot to flow the blood

Generally you should avoid heat at this phase of recovery; it can increase the swelling while the injury is fresh. Don't use heat for 72 hours after the injury. For now, ice and elevation.

exactly!!! I was going to say avoid the heat - so you're right on.

picado · 2007-03-03, 05:22 AM

picado · 2007-03-04, 06:18 PM

hey guys.
after some friends saw the swelling they said that i can fucked a ligament .
iam really worried now and thinking

the pain is not that big

tomorrow i will take a magnetic resonance to see the ligaments on my foot .

iam really worried.
and i hate friends that make me worried

lukkyjay · 2007-03-05, 03:53 PM

nothing to worry about. just ice it, elevate it, take ginger capsules (anti-inflammatory) and it'll get better. get yourself some of the sixsixone ankle guards and they'll help you uni while you heal and keep you from hurting your ankle again.

picado · 2007-03-06, 09:34 PM

hey.. this is some pics of my foot
5 days after the injurie

i can walk but my foot cant take side stress

dammt
