Ok, I may need some medical advice so, obviously, I'm posting on here.

Played 5-a-side football last night for the first time in about 8 years. Had a bit of an incident when I had my weight on my left foot and tried to turn. Something went 'crack' and down I went. Very sore initially, but after a couple of minutes I was able to hobble off. Managed to make my way home, walking quite slowly.

Got home, took my trainers and socks off and my ankle looks like this. Did the ice thing for about an hour till that got boring. My ankle still looks like that now. It doesn't hurt if I'm not standing up, merely a dull sort of throbbing, which is due to the swelling.

I assumed it was a sprain, as if something had broken I'd assume I would have been able to put no weight on my foot at all. And it would hurt like hell the whole time. Then again, I definitely heard a crack.

Has any one here sprained/broken an ankle and could let me know if I can just let this settle down by itself or whether I need to hobble along to the doctor.

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

Winnah!

Following extensive medical research (this thread) I've decided to get it looked at properly.

My Mrs is a nurse she can help you, okay she is actually a pyschiatric nurse but she might be of more help given that you are asking a bunch of degenerates for medical advice instead of going to a Hospital....   Grin
