Couperman Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I am hobbling about at the minute due to a sprained ankle that I didn't sprain. I was sitting in the chair on Saturday night and my ankle started to hurt for no reason it then swelled up to quite a size. Didn't get much sleep that night as I couldn't get comfy. Anyhow thinking I had contracted some evil flesh eating bug I hopped off down to the doctors to be be told I had indeed sprained it. Apparently you can do damage to your ankle days previously think nothing of it at the time and pay the price later Everytime I have done my ankle in before I have always remembered exactly when, where and how I did it. I could understand waking up with an injury and not remembering how I got it but to feel fine and then develop one later in the day whilst doing nothing..... Weird Kev.

Mutrix Farmers Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hope you feel better soon! I once woke up with a sprained ankle. The only explanation the Doctor could give was that I may have got it tangled up in the duvet during the night!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hope you feel better soon Couperman! Elevate and ice (in a towel) Good call on trotting off to the doctors. OH woke up with a sore leg one day, soldiered on for two days and then when I took him to A&E he did indeed have a nasty flesh eating bug Cue, admission to hospital for super strength intravenous antibiotics!

Couperman Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 She has been watching 'Misery' a lot lately. The ankle is getting better but not quick enough Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirstine Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Oh poor Couperman! I have never heard of a self-spraining ankle, but I knew someone who had a self-breaking foot. It was painful and swollen, but she couldn't recall doing anything to it; they only discovered a bone was broken after an eventual x-ray. Anyhow, I hope you feel better soon.
