JIX Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Just rest it until sunday afternoon, then see how it feels and give it some light movements. e.g. rotating, pointing your toes that sort of thing. Then on monday come on the oxford ride with it strapped up and a couple of pain killers. Dont rest it to much other wise it will go very stiff. and stop being a girl.

Tartridge Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Then on monday come on the oxford ride with it strapped up and a couple of pain killers. and stop being a girl. ← And risk having it permanently knackered (Y) Unlucky Smithy :S Keep it moving mate, as has been said, and try and include a bit of resistance if you can - something like putting an elastic band (or bands) around the legs on your desk, and then over your foot - pulling against them. Make sure it hurts a little, but not agony/lots of resistance (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantham Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 :blink: unlucky mate, I fractured my ankle in two places on wednesday night playing rugby, went to hospital thursday and they said come back friday, So i went this morning and they just put a brace on as the fractures arent that big, so they said its best not to have it in a cast as that will weaken it. Which means im gunna strap it up and take a few pain-killers so i can do the tyke trial sunday. At least with the brace you can take it off and have a shower, when i broke my leg before my feet realy started to stink! hope it gets better soon buddy.
