One of those days.
Actually, the trend wasn’t that noticeable earlier, but a little while ago I missed a step going down into our cellar and went flying. Ankle and foot are very unhappy. After 800 milligrams of ibuprofen and an hour off it, I can hobble but not walk anything approaching normally. Not much swelling, though, so I’m holding on to hope that it’ll be fine in the morning. More drugs before bed and some ice between now and then will hopefully do the trick.
Sheesh.
RICE, Deb
Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation.If you’re feet/ankles don’t normally swell at night, I’d suggest wrapping it (not too tight as to cut off circulation) with an ACE bandage or some such over night, and putting a pillow under your foot while you’re in bed.
