Was playing astro on weds nite challenged header and fell very awkwardly on the ankle. It swelled and bruised the next day, not too sore just the 1st 5 mins after it. Thinking its a bad sprain, have it strapped can walk fine but is it worth a trip to a&e?

If it’s strapped and your not having any pain walking I wouldn’t bother with the A&E .

A bad sprain if you can walk/move it… take nurofen to get swelling down… you need to get moving it/ strengthening asap… start off with just small movements- i often spell out the alphabet with my big toe - capital letter then small letter - Aa, Bb and so on… after i few days you need to balance on one foot - do it while brushing your teeth at night/in the morn… progress to balancing on foot and throwing ball off wall and catching it - mix it up, high/low/left/right catches… the when on one foot hop forward a yard or two and land still on foot… finally, calf raises - bring ball of foot to edge of stairs/fire place and simply raise calf up and down…follow this up by walking around house on tippy toes… you’ll be back in 10 days.

Sound lads. No chance it broke? I know of lads who walk no bother even if broke. Dont think so myself but just wanna be sure…bruising (was bad) cleared in 24 hrs

If it was broken you would know all about it.,

A nasty dose. You’d definitely know if you’d done damage to the bone.

I thought so but spoke to 2,people who broke ankles (albiet a couple of times) and said they could walk fine. Thanks again chaps

Forget astro for a start. A plague for injuries

1357

Besides a few skins, thats the only bad one ive had. Shit grass pitches much more dodgy

Small stress fractures and the likes maybe. But the swelling would suggest its not that. Take the strapping off though and listen to CM. The strapping is probably slowing the healing.

Nonsense. Its unfit desk jockeys hopping out of the car after 10 hours sitting with shit movement abilities is the reason for injury, not the astroturf or the 5-a-side

Strap it up as tightly as you can and keep your leg elevated and in a static position for 7-10 days. Don’t mind that Choco cunt he’s a wrong un.
