You have fat ankles anyway, thats for sure!!! :lol:

Looks like a pressure sore, as in probably ligament damage inside there and the muscle (blood) is being pushed out against it. Again, rest, but self massage might help it. Break it down over a few days.

They’re swollen. I’ll post up my left ankle later.

Anyway would the ligament damage be enough to make me panic in front of goal and miss a hatful of chances tonight?

Another ankle injury to be diagnosed please lads.

Had a tough time walking to the DART this week with my ankle and then my whole shin up to my knee fairly aching as I was walking. Took a bit of a knock on it last week but it swells up every week so didn’t take much notice of the swelling. Only today I noticed my shooting was a little off and on inspecting my ankle there’s something hard sticking out a bit in a lumpy sort of thing. I’ve attached some photos to aid the diagnosis.

There’s a bit of swelling there so the natural shape isn’t immediately obvious but I’ve helpfully encircled the jutty out bits.

Thoughts?

Of course, the ligaments will be attached to nerves, and nerves to the brain. But more than anything it would be your balance that was off. They were probably all about the same distance off ya?

fill yourself two basins of water, or failing that use the bathtub and one basin…fill one with hot water and the other with cold water, immerse said ankle in cold water for 30 seconds and then in hot water for 30 seconds, repeat half a dozen times or so…should help with the swelling…repate this a few times a day

Good advice, will help, but its real value would have been if he had done it the night it actually happened. There will need to be some pain and kneading.

FOF - I don’t understand your confusion, shock and laughter? A weak ankle is bound to affect your balance.

A few mentions of trips to the dentist earlier on this thread…

From The Wexford People:

[b]Gut wrenching

Wexford jockey’s DIY tooth extraction[/b]

WELL-KNOWN Wexford jockey John Cullen insisted this week he didn’t know that a gruesome video of him using a pliers to extract a painful tooth from the mouth of a horse-owner would be uploaded to the internet video sharing site YouTube.

The video, which has already been viewed more than 3,000 times, shows Cullen in do-it-yourself dentist mode as he removes a tooth from Frank McGee, the owner of ‘Another Jewel’, which he rode for him in France last summer.

The video, entitled ’ The Extraction by Cullen’, was uploaded in September and has had 3,270 views since then.

It shows the patient ‘Francie’ McGee standing in a yard, open-mouthed with a

large glass of brandy in his hand, while the Wexford jockey extracts a back tooth with an adjustable pliers.

The Blackwater man carries out the task quite expertly in a couple of movements, removing the tooth and its roots in one piece. Mr McGee’s face takes on a queasy look during the operation but he recovers his composure with a gulp of brandy. An unidentified man and woman are watching the operation.

When contacted about the YouTube video this week, John Cullen said the incident happened in France during the summer. Frank McGee had a bad tooth which was giving him a lot of pain. The group was there for two weeks, and there was no dentist nearby.

‘He would have let me go at it with a chisel, he was in so much pain,’ said John, adding that he was asked to pull the tooth.

‘I was the only sober one there. They decided to video it for the craic, but I didn’t know that they were going to put it on YouTube,’ he said, adding that ‘a few’ people have mentioned the online clip to him.

Frank McGee was ‘grand’ following the extraction, ‘not a bother on him’, although he had to get some antibiotics a few days later, the jockey added.

John said the reason he agreed to pull the tooth was because Frank was in pain. ‘I did it because he was in strife with the tooth. I didn’t offer to do it, I was asked. But I never thought they’d put it on YouTube,’ he said.

And the video:

Can you get glasses to protect your eyes from the glare of the laptop screen? My eyes are a bit sore some days, especially if I spend a few hours reading pdf files and the like.

Question:

so far today I have had a strawberry fruit corner, a cup of Tomato and Basil soup and am in the middle of eating my second banana of the day…is that my 5 helpings of fruit and veg for the day done

[Bandage]

As an aside, I had a boil with a yellow head on it under my eyelid over the weekend. Nasty business. I put in a fifteen minute stint of concerted and aggressive blinking as I was too freaked out to stick my fingers up there. Anyway, it burst during this process and the goo rolled down along my eye onto my face. It’s fine since.
