Take a trip to the southern hemisphere and twists the same ankle there. Except the coriolis effect will twist it back into place.
This is the only correct answer.
That ankle will never be the same. It will forever be prone to twisting. It will be important that you keep it strong to prevent further injury.
Sorry bro.
It's true. I injured my left ankle freshman year of high school and I'm in my 30s now and still roll it semi-badly to badly around once a year. Stupid thing is so weak.
I only every where hiking boots on never terrain now.
People say you can get away with trainers, they are lighter and more comfortable. But my risk of rolling an ankle is too high when I'm out and about.
If I need more than everday trainers I go to a straight boot that locks my ankle in.
First aid for sprains and soft tissue damage, use RICE:
I’m not a doctor, just a random person on the Internet.
I think ice is not recommended these days. NSAIDs do the same and also reduce pain.
Thanks, it’s been a few years since my first aid course.
Recovery not much maybe some slighly numbing ointment or panadol/neuofen for pain relief. Post recovery its never gonna be the same i reccommend heigh ankle hiking boots that should help keep it reletivly aligned and prevent future fucking around wich it will now for the rest of your life be prone to doing.
Range of motion exercises are extremely important once the acute phase of pain and swelling goes down (~1 day). Ankle rotations and making the cross. Do it a lot.
If you have bruising, or the pain and swelling persists after a day of RICE, see a doctor.
Amputation
Obviously consult a doctor and blah blah blah, but I finally bought a couple of those hot/cold ice packs. I keep two in the freezer and one in the cabinet above the microwave. Because you never know when hot or cold will help but oh sweet Erastil does it help when you need it.
Also: a good pair of trekking poles are great to have. Awesome for a longer hike but also a great way to have a cane (or even a crutch in a pinch) for when you SHOULD be letting something rest but don't because you got stuff to do.
Get better at Rocket League so nobody breaks your ankles ever again.
I've seen a bunch of TikToks of people twisting their ankle and recovering from the fall by hopping into a Fortnite dance to play it off like it was planned.
Sprain your other ankle so it balances out
