*hugs* ice ice ice and rest rest rest :3 anti inflamatories... mum used to do failboat things all the time... she fell out the caravan (1-2 steps) and broke her wrist but also chipped her knee cap... which the hospital didnt pay any attention to... 3-4 years later shes on her 3rd knee operation >_<

Hope you feel better soon. ;3

aww damn that sucks! I guess it could have been much worse. I fell onto a concrete basement but my knees and wrists are fine.

I did a pretty nasty sprain a couple summers back... in medical terms you probably did yourself in with what they call a "Hyper sprain". Expect serious tenderness and discomfort for a good week, invest in a good ace bandage along with new tighter socks, and shoes tied well.
And exactly what you're already doing a regiment of ice/warm pads when you have some down time available.

Get well soon Kitty.

Yup, my mother has braces to spare because my sister was prone to spraining her ankle like at least 4 times a summer. I've got this neat one thats a elastic and velcro brace with a pocket for an ice/heat pack. It works nice and wont fall off while I'm trying to sleep.

In medical terms there is no such thing as a hyper sprain :P

Kitty - just keep it rested, elevated, iced and compressed (like with a tension bandage) - you should try and start mild exercises in a few days.

Funny, because when I went to an emergency room with a physiotherapist, those were his exact words to me on what happened. Nope. Experts couldn't possibly know what they are talking about. Not at all. So :P back to you. with a NYah! on top. (cheeky roos are cheeky)

Not to start a flame war, but I'm a medical professional too :) He might have said you hyperextended your joint though - but that still isn't a hyper sprain lol :)

I hyper sprained my brain!

thanks proxy, the medical man knows best ^.^ I just got back from the walk in clinic, she said it was just a bad sprain but I got some X-Rays and a doctors note so work wouldnt think I was faking it. So start walking on it a bit more in a day or two? Right now I'm using a cane to get around, and its still pretty tender. I've also got a compression bandage with an ice pack sleeve on it that I'm using.

eeep that really sucks Kitty at least the visit with your father was good up to that point *hugs and hands a hot water bottle* hehe not sure if you have any of these since everyone else is giving ice :P.

Owwieeeee ;-; that must hurt *hugs and puts soothing cream on it*

Wow, that must really hurt! I remember when I sprained my left hand. It was so swollen, not even ice would do the trick, much, and I couldn't even write; every time I tried it hurt like a bitch! It lasted for about at least a few days. Anyways, hope you get better soon.
