Right Ankle Sprain


Feet....

I hate my ankles sometimes. In january, I managed to twist my left ankle. This time, I managed to injure my right one. I don't know exactly how I did it, but it must have something to do with gym. I haven't been going to the gym as much as I did. And I didn't warm up my ankles, as I thought just doing the cross trainers would be sufficient as a warmup. I was fine all saturday and sunday I even went for a swim. Come Monday, I had to go on site... and I was hobbling and limping as my ankle started to ache really badly. Tuesday, I have been staying at home since I could not put any weight on it and my foot was very swollen. I must have sprained it. there was no sudden trauma like a missed footstep or something. But nonetheless, I was in severe pain last week.
This week, much of the swelling is gone down. However whenever I put weight on my right ankle, it feels unstable and the ankle hurts. It's hurting a bit now but I've put on a strong brace for it. It's a bit tight but it seems to be keeping everything where it should.
Luckily, I am able to work from home. The benefits of being in IT. However, some days last week I just want to take the day off. I hope I will be fine and dandy by next week.
