Ankle Injury
Re: Ankle Injury
You've had no further injury or cause for swelling and yet you have swelling?XCrunner wrote: Well, its been a month and a half and there is still swelling around the ankle and up my shins. Also, whenever I touch my lower shin or anywhere on my ankle, all the nerves down my foot tingle into my tows. I've recently gotten back to my running schedule, but I want to know if there's any underlying problem.
You experience tingling from your lower shin down?
I'm not a medic or a doctor, but I'd say that you've fucked up a blood vessel and now have circulation problems.
You're gonna want to see a professional.
Or, you could just lop it off and get one of those cool springy things for a foot.

It sounds like you hyper extended your ankle.
Take a piece of cloth and wrap it around your calf about 4 inches below your knee. Tie an overhand knot in it, then put one end of a cylindrical piece of hard material over the knot and tie a square knot on top of that. Once that is done, twist the cylindrical piece hard material until your ankle starts to tingle. Then tie it off to your lower calf with another piece of cloth (make sure not to back off on the tension, always go forward). What this will do is cut off the blood flow so the swelling goes down. It may hurt for a while just bare with it, it should only take about a week. Then you can go to a Doctor and he can complete the procedure.
One of the Doc's should be by shortly to conferm this.
Good Luck.

You sure you don't want to lop it off and get one of those springy prosthetic feet?
Come on, man. That thing looks PIMP!

Hot tip from experience. It takes MONTHS, not weeks, to recover from a severe ankle sprain.
I blew mine out at the MOUT site at Ft. Lewis in 1980 (why they flew us all the way out to 2nd Batt country just to use a MOUT site I will NEVER understand).
Got back on it in a couple of weeks. Sprained it again later that year...and again a few times the next year...and a few times the year after that...and the year after THAT... until 2001 (that's right sportsfans, 21 fucking years later) when I finally got referred to an orthapaedic surgeon who rebuilt the fucker. Said the joint was an absolute mess, and likely had never fully healed in all those years.
The good news is that the Brostrom-Evans Ankle Reconstruction is SHIT HOT! I ran a 50 miler the year after it was rebuilt, with a 13 mile section on the Appalachian Trail, and a few more trail ultras and a shitload of adventure races since then...with no pain or swelling.
