Seriously, I'm annoyed. The left ankle still swells up occasionally, or habitually. Now with the right ankle playing catch-up in the injury stakes, will I even know what my ankles used to look like after this year
( Read more... )
This one isn't as bad as the last one. I noticed yesterday that the sound the ankle made as it twisted wasn't as dramatic, and the swelling is in a different location. It swelled up a lot faster, but the swelling seems to have diminished faster, too. I'd thought it would be worse this morning, but it's not too bad.
I'm also handling things a bit differently. Regular doses of Advil, regular applications of IcyHot, and elevation have been on the menu since yesterday, in addition to keeping it in the brace all day, so that may have helped. With every injury a new lesson is learned.
And, maybe it's just in comparison to the right one, or maybe it's something to do with the Advil, but the left ankle seems to be looking more like itself than it had been.
