Sprained my ankle :-(

[Captain Chickenpants]

And it sucks. I am stuck at home putting ice on it every now and again.
It is pretty damn painful, I slipped off a climb and my foot kind of folded under me when I landed. Not comfortable at all.

Sorry to hear. I used to have sprained ankles all the time growing up, right after my parents got us that trampoline...

I've never in my 22 years on this earth had a sprained ankle.

 

[digitalwanderer]

Oh man, I had a couple of 3-4 years where I had about 6 of them and a couple of hairline fractures!

I kept trying to learn how to do a flip, never could get the landing quite down.

(No safety lines or cages, just bounce and flip....I'd almost ALWAYS sprain/break my ankle when I tried it but it never stopped me. I was a stupidly stubborn teen, go figure. )

Neither have I, and I'm turning 31 in 11 days. And I played tennis for most of my youth...never had a broken bone either.

This is my first in my 30 years. The only bone I have ever broken was my sisters finger

Try again now and make a video. I want to see.

Be like a professional footballer and say you've got ligament damage. Sounds more macho than a sprained ankle!

Bah! Professional footballers are wimps. They complain at the slightest thing. As a kid we played football on gravelly concrete, if you fell over you got up straight away and carried on playing.

It has developed a couple of huge bruises above and below the ankle joint.

Added a photo for anyone interested ;-)

Can professional footballers actually pronounce that many syllables?

Well, if parrots can manage it why shouldn't footballers? I never claimed they understood what they were saying!
