1. My wife has a broken foot, and on her other leg, a sprained ankle...

...so, I can empathize.

[enigmatic]

2. ugh

sorry about that; are you ok?

[KitchenWitch]

3. It is a minor sprain

but it hurts like Satan!

Pain pills and aircasts are gifts from the gods!

4. Ouch remember rice

rest
ice
compress
elevate

and hugs and chicken soup.

5. Not good.

But you knew that.

Here's a pic to pick you up:



I hope the recovery is swift.

:thumbsup:

8. Gorgeous photo!

I think I will be okay in a few days.

I have extremely high arches in my feet, which make my ankles a bit unstable...I sprain an ankle on average about twice a year.

14. Well, I guess everyone has to have a hobby.

How's the pheasant population
this year?

[KitchenWitch]

15. We often have pheasants in our back yard

backyard borders a marsh.

16. I'm in the desert now,

I almost miss the northern climes.

6. Why? That is not a good way to get attention.

Do you know the treatment for it?
RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation
They say, heavy on the ice, but I have never used it. I am a firm believer in the compression part.

[KitchenWitch]

9. Got RICE going

Compression seems to work the best for me as well.

10. I am trying to remember my college first aid course

when do you use heat on an injury?

[KitchenWitch]

11. When there is less chance of inflammation.

[DanCa]

12. Ah thank you

please feel better - sending you my best white light your way KW.

[KitchenWitch]

13. Thanks

It will only slow me down for a few days!

7. Feel better. I find that three aspirins works better for pain, better

than prescription drugs the gov't won't check and that don't work, LOL!

22. I sprained mine

right at the top of Machu Pichu in Peru, on the way up the track to Juana Pichu.
I thought "Hmmm, insurance company are going to love the bill for airlifting me out of here!"
Anyway, my prescription, which medicated me to a lovely degree was 1 Valium and 2 Codienes, a sleep in the sun and a big stick to hobble down on.
And remember, you are injured, people really should be rallying around helping you, milk it baby!

[Mutley]

23. Ouch! Is it bad?

I used to sprain my ankle all the time when I was younger. It sucks!

[KitchenWitch]

24. It is pretty minor

I have an aircast on it, and have taken the analgesics!

I should be good in a few days.

[Mutley]

25. Well, I hope it gets better quick!

:hug:
