Gone over on my ankle working in the garden today and torn my calcaneo-fibular ligament
Swelled up like grapefruit and hurts like a mofo and I have crutches from the hospital to hop around on.
The main advice is RICE
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
Any experience/advice welcome.
Never gone over on an ankle before. All I did was step on the edge of a paver, my foot tilted 45 degrees sideways then - pop - my fibula falls sideways off my foot. Very strange as I am sure I have put my ankle through much worse stress than that in the past without injury.
