i’ve had a bit of a fall down couple of steps. It’s literally gone all black round my ankle.

Did you see someone @Changednameagain999 then?

It sounds like a combination of things for your friend, not just her accident.

I hope you feel better soon.

Yes I went to a surgery nearby and they checked it out. It’s really much improved today. Didn’t need a support there is just some bruising. Did 20 lengths of the pool which helped and will do some more swimming before dinner. Feeling much more positive about it. Hoping that in a couple of days it will be back to normal. I have a lovely beach nearby but it’s down a steep hill. I’ll give it a couple of days before going there.

Can I add to this - I did the exact same thing a couple of years ago whilst abroad- fell down some steep steps in flip flops - and hit my knee very hard - horrendous swelling, passed out in the hotel restaurant after I'd though I could make it of dinner - only to find out my leg ballooned to double the size.
My leg did go black - had an xray - was 'just' ligament damage.
Had to elevate my leg for the rest of the holiday - so was stuck in a beaut hotel in my room with just netflix on phone.

Accidents happen and I can understand why you worried - it makes it a lot worse when you are not at home.
