Walking the dog this afternoon in a silly old pair of fit flops (that DH has thrown in the bin!) and dog pulled suddenly - I went completely over on my one foot, bending it to the outside and nearly falling. I had a very short sharp intense pain that took my breath away, and somehow managed to hobble home with my shoes off. Thank god I was nearly home.
SInce then, it's swelled all around my ankle and the pain is making me feel sick....I've had ibuprofen, have covered ankle/foot in Movelat gel and have just had 2 cocodamol as the pain is so bad. I can't weight bear on it and have hobbled into bed with some help. I'm assuming I've sprained it according to NHS online but am worried by the pain more than my ankle itself..... has anyone else done this and can reassure me??
