The Let Kev at your Back thread

@Horsebox

Appear to have rolled my ankle during the weekends debauchery-have it strapped now. It’s a small bit swollen but doubt I did any ligament damage. Anyone got good exercises to do with an iffy ankle-I don’t want to lose the head of steam I’ve built up recently on the fitness front. @caoimhaoin ?

Put all your weight on your bad ankle and hop on that ankle on as hard a surface as you can find for an hour

Unless you genuinely need it to get around all you’re doing is becoming reliant on it, it’s not helping you heal anyway.

Any basis to this advice at all pal?

@Horsebox. Roll a tennis/golf ball around under you foot when you are sitting down. It keeps the blood flowing/lymph system pumping and stops swelling increasing. A good wank might make you feel better?

Which is it, lads? I took the strapping off earlier today.

This is something I have been told/heard on a few occasions. I thought it was a widely believed fact.

I find this only provides temporary relief.

The witch doctor in Carlow would get a horse to piss on a bandage and then strap ankle in said bandage, and tell you to leave it on for a month. Give it a shot and see how it goes. I wont ask for money, but I would expect you to make some degree of donation nonetheless.

I’d keep it supported buddy to keep the inflammation down and to allow it heal

Don’t mind that…follow Bandage’s advice, you don’t need a support. When the swelling goes down in a few days pm me and I will forward on 4/5 exercises to help you, but rest it and ice it until then.

[Mark_Renton]

Actually, I just reread that properly and corner back is dead right, keep it supported , no one mentioned anything about a support.

I left the strapping at home today-ankle feels weak as piss and I’ve already almost rolled it again getting out of the fucking lift. Good advice.

Cunt.

Dead right, Mac. Horsebox, you’re a fucking dolphin. Just think of it as evolution. Now get into the sea and swim it better.

I was in fairly shitty form this morning and as I was passing Seapoint, the tide was in and the water looked amazing. I got a serious pang to be out there and am very resentful that I have to be in this cunt of a place now instead of out where I belong.

Anyone have any experience of vertigo?

Not the fear of heights as portrayed in Hitchcock’s film but the spinning/dizziness sensation accompanied by boughts of violent vomiting?

I know someone who suffers very badly from it.
