ouch...okay that makes my ankle hurt just from reading that.

i do hope you put ice on it and elevated it.

:(

[hugs EJ gingerly avoiding being anywhere near said ankle]

i'll keep you in my thoughts for a speedy recovery.

thanks SJ. i appreciate the hug... sadly, if you're avoiding my ankle you're also avoiding the tip of another part that would enjoy a hug. ;)

i did some ice at first to arrest the swelling but am all about heat now. that's the only thing that keeps the pain tolerable. :) it'll be ok though. a sprain isn't anything to get too bent out of shape over.

:kiss: For your speedy recovery.

Is this considered a handicap in tennis? I might be able to beat you now!!! ;)

EJ, you said you hurt it playing tennis. what happened?

nothing special... just turned it when running. one o' those freakish things. made me feel like a real athlete though. lol.
 
EJFan said:
actually... was kind of hoping you'd do this anyway. ;)

I thought you were competative too... Two competative people, one with a sprained ankle... Hmmmm, you wouldn't just be letting me win, would you?

LOL. EJ!

While heat may be the only thing that makes the pain tolerable, it's actually best to avoid heat for the first 24 hours--my sister-in-law is an athletic trainer for a university out west.

R.I.C.E

Rest

Ice for the first 24 hours

Compression after the first 24 hours--earlier if you must move about

Elevation.

thanks SJ. this is one of those things that we know to be true but is hard to follow. :D that ice just makes everything stiff and painful. :(

should i wrap it while i'm sleeping tonight ya think?

i know how hard it is to follow; i have sprained my ankle far too many times. but trust me when i tell you my sister-in-law yells at me...not unkindly, mind you...when i don't follow the RICE thing.

no, do not wrap it while you are sleeping because it can swell while you are sleeping thus cutting off circulation. and that's a bad thing.

yeah, i know, the ice makes it siff and painful. :( the only thing you can do for that is some ibuprofen.

the heat, btw, can actually cause it to swell more. ice reduces the swelling, as does the elevation. so, prop it up on a couple of pillows tonight while you sleep.

Yes, one of my fondest memories is how cute MrB looked holding a bag of mixed vegetables on his poor swollen little guys. :heart: He was NOT a happy camper.

yeah... this is one of those things that just sucks... now where's my hacksaw again?
 
Wow ice makes it stiff, heat increases the swelling, either you changed your av to early or IKWIBSTMTAL. :D

the scrape of a goatee on skin first thing very early in the morning is delicious. :D
