I am broken!! Haha
Take a trip to the southern hemisphere and twists the same ankle there. Except the coriolis effect will twist it back into place.
This is the only correct answer.
- talk to a doctor. Make sure it’s a twist and not anything broken. It can take a day or two for extent of injury to be seen. You don’t want a mishealed foot that has to be broken again to heal properly.
- if you don’t listen to above, get crutches and stay off it.
Recovery not much maybe some slighly numbing ointment or panadol/neuofen for pain relief. Post recovery its never gonna be the same i reccommend heigh ankle hiking boots that should help keep it reletivly aligned and prevent future fucking around wich it will now for the rest of your life be prone to doing.
Amputation
Range of motion exercises are extremely important once the acute phase of pain and swelling goes down (~1 day). Ankle rotations and making the cross. Do it a lot.
If you have bruising, or the pain and swelling persists after a day of RICE, see a doctor.
Obviously consult a doctor and blah blah blah, but I finally bought a couple of those hot/cold ice packs. I keep two in the freezer and one in the cabinet above the microwave. Because you never know when hot or cold will help but oh sweet Erastil does it help when you need it.
Also: a good pair of trekking poles are great to have. Awesome for a longer hike but also a great way to have a cane (or even a crutch in a pinch) for when you SHOULD be letting something rest but don’t because you got stuff to do.
I’ve seen a bunch of TikToks of people twisting their ankle and recovering from the fall by hopping into a Fortnite dance to play it off like it was planned.
Sprain your other ankle so it balances out
