Meanwhile, Back at That Ankle

[billroper]

Dr. Bob reports that the X-rays showed nothing broken, so it's just a sprain. This is good to know.

Interestingly, the more I abuse it on any given day, the better it seems to feel the next day. That seems a little strange. :)

I haven't read LJ in a couple of weeks, so I've just now discovered the ankle posts.

Ouch!

I'm glad it's not broken. I've always heard that sprains are worse than breaks, for pain/recovery/etc., but having now had both, I can state equivocally that I'd rather have a sprain than a break!

And yeah, what Judi said... the more you move it, the more you work the built-up lactic acid out of it. Even if you don't think it's swelling, you may find that ice helps both pain and mobility. If you don't have a good ice pack handy, I recommend frozen peas.
