Take care of yourself and your ankle! 

Thank you, ankle moves fairly well but the outside of my foot and under side is badly bruised and swollen. Trying to rest best as I can. R.I.C.E 

🍀 

Ugh, I feel you. This has been quite the year. What I will tell you is that an inexpensive TENS unit has saved me much pain and is supposed to help with healing. I really can recommend. I got one in the pharmacy at my local Target and I later bought replacement pads on Amazon. 

Your new profile pic is very pretty. I can't always see them. 

you poor thing 😭 hope you heal quickly 

Want to borrow my bedside commode? Sorry you are in pain. you know that you are a good example to some of us who eat more when we are in pain, no less.🙏🤗😷 

Ohhhh did this to my ankle in an obstacle race in high school. Thought crutches were always cool til I was in need of them. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Rest and ice, and some ibuprofen and elevation for a few days will be your best companions girl!! My best to you 💖🙏 

While the pain is tolerable and I can move ankle I hobble around on my toes. Massaging or touching does not hurt, swelling is bad along with serious bruising. I had company this afternoon and evening so I hobbled around quite a lot earlier. Tomorrow I’ll have a proper rest and will use the crutches. This too shall pass!!! Thank you for your kind words and support. 

Epsom salts soaks 

Hope you get better quickly! 

Get an X-ray! In 2007, I thought I strained my foot, turned out to be a hair-line fracture & after 2 weeks became a complete fracture with a non-weight bearing cast up to my knee! If you can hardly walk on it, it may be broken---get the x-ray! Trust me. 

as much as I hate it, ice helps. 

DrTina, I’m going to urgent care today. It’s pretty bad and swelling isn’t going down... Thank you for the insight and recommendation... 

For real, be done made me believe I’m Wonder Woman or something... Which I am. On social media. In real life I’m Clumsy Woman 😆
