Just got back home from the doctors. My ankle and foot have been very swollen and not getting any better since I sprained it last Sunday. I was trying to take care of it myself.
Yesterday morning I woke up with my foot and ankle swollen even worse. I guess from walking on it so much!
The doctor had ordered x-rays and sure enough she said it was a very bad sprain. Not broken though. :) She gave me what they call an aircast(looks like a splint) Unfortionatly she told me I might bave to wear it up to 8 weeks. Depending how I feel and when the swelling is down or gone. She said I probably won't have to wear it that long. But it depends. She said thats the maximum.
I have to ice it for 15 mins at a time and keep it elevated as much as I can. And take Motrin at least 3 tablets 2 times daily. I Thought that was alot. But she said I can take up to 12 a day. *shrugs*
So might not be at the computer as much for the time being!
