janice6 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I'm told that a sprained ankle is many times harder on the person than a broken one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter broke her ankle in the 10th birthday....clean break through the growth plate. She had two pins placed....and complained for almost a year about regular pain in that region. Bad sprains seem to heal at about the same rate. They are wicked injuries that weaken the hurt region for the next injury. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astepup Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I rolled my ankle delivering mail and stepping off an icy curb several years ago. The pain was unreal. I was fortunate not to break any bones but I sure did stretch some tendons and ligaments. To this day every once in awhile I still get a "twinge" if my foot's at a weird angle with my body weight on it. Rest up Ash....it could be awhile before you're back to 100%. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I haven't hurt my ankle, but one Winter I slipped and fell straight down on one foot. It buckled sideways and folded under me, I wound up breaking 5 metatarsal bones. They remained lined up so I didn't need surgery, but I wore a boot for a while. The best thing about the experience was the Handicap Sticker. When I had my last visit to the Doctor, he asked how I was doing, I told him "well". My wife leaped into the conversation with the statement that, she liked the handicap sticker priveleges so much she was thinking of breaking my other foot! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dric902 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) I broke a metatarsal in my foot hitting a pothole on a pt run in BNOC at Ft Campbell Ky. If I went to the aid station I would get a bus ticket home. it was week four, so I laced up my boot really tight and limped. I could drop out of three pt runs and we had a week in the field, but a PT test to finish the course. worse time I ever had on the two mile run. But I got Distinguished Grad. the Orthopedist later told me I did more damage after the injury that the injury itself. .

UHLAWPUP Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I fell out of bed a couple of days ago. I have a rather high daybed in my radio room that I exile myself to when my snoring gets on SheWhoMustBeObeyed’s nerves. During a therapeutic afternoon nap, I rolled over - but there was no over. Luckily, I woke up just as the descent began and was able to slow the fall enough to not hurt myself. Old age can be exciting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought I just twisted my ankle and I had to get inside, cause it's Winter and damned cold. I got up favoring the hurt foot, and then I tried to use it to walk into the open garage. God it hurt so bad with pain shooting up my leg. I hobbled into the house and figured I really did a number on it. I couldn't believe the pain when I tried to walk on it.

ASH Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 people dont really think how important feet are on a daily basis until you hurt one lol . when farming ive walked a many a mile and my knees are wore out and surprisingly my feet are pretty good , except back when i would have gout flair up in big toe . doc told me we gotta get that under control or its gonna ruin your joint and never recover, then bout 20 years ago i started getting special made foot pad inserts from my doc and it has made a huge difference ,yeah they are expensive but you cant put a price on pain or getting help . like people with back problems i know a few that have bad backs and even thou i got alot of hurts my prayers go out to anyone with back problems. farming which is super high risk for back problems , i got damn lucky . my dad had the corn auger motor slip and it flipped upside down and slid down the side of silo and smacked his back , he never recovered from that and was on alot of pain management til he died . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrB Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I fell by the basement stairs and down I went. Lucky I did not kill myself. I still suffer from that to this day.. In my youth it would have healed, today at my age not so much... I still hurt from that.. Dave.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Historian Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Just mowed the lawn. Didn't see a small hole, or depression, rolled my right ankle. Lovely. I'm going to self medicate with a raised foot and a history book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
