Sprained my ankle and getting fat already

[Movingforward123]

I sprained my ankle and can't walk on it atall! It's really painful and I've got very strong painkillers which are making me constipated (sorry if too much info) I've already put on about 3 or 4 pounds but some of that may be because I can't go to the toilet properly!

My leg that I can't use feels like jelly and my belly does too .

Any tips on what I can do to not put on more weight while my leg is bad?

I'm thinking about eating bran flakes and soup until I'm better

I am guessing they have given you codeine? Not a good choice if you want to avoid constipation. Better to stick with non steroidal anti inflammatories (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen or diclofenac as these do not usually cause these problems. Do not take if you have stomach ulcer or caution if asthmatic. Your GP will be able to advise.
On the weight front, nothing to advise really other than just maybe cut down a little on the pies if you are not as active as usual.
Have you tried fibergel for the constipation? Its very good. You can have it prescribed or buy OTT.
Good luck

OTC over the counter, duh! sorry on second glass of pino!

Yes they did give me codine, but
my foot is very painful so I feel
I need it. But I've got something to help me go to the toilet!

They gave me a different painkiller at one stage that didn't help me ankle much
