Ankle Dislocation

(1/3) > >>

gukl:
Happened in game, came down from a layup thought id just sprained it badly looked down and my toes were pointing towards my left shoulder (right foot) paramedics ambulance etc came said it was almost through the skin. Had oxygen, morphine and then got put out so they could put it back into place which they did and then shoved it in a plaster cast.

Somehow no fractures although probably some quite extensive ligament damage. Have been told im going to be stuck in a cast for 4-5 weeks and then gradual mobilisation through pt.

Just wondered if anybody knew of anything I can do to speed the healing/prevent long term problems as much as possible or failing that entertain myself over the next few months with no ball!

not much you can really do except eat good/clean, follow their recommendations (elevation/immobility etc), and rest + good sleep every night..

irc keeps me entertained, so does watching movies & video editing.. when i tore my calf i was unable to walk for a few months, so i watched nba league pass, irc'd, coded (computer programming), and relaxed, it worked good.

peace man

LBSS:
FUUUUUUUUUUCK man. That sucks!  :(

I know a bit about ankle rehab just from personal experience and ad hoc research but that shit is WAY more serious than anything that's happened to my ankles. If you have any questions down the line, once you start being able to move it again and can think about strengthening and stuff, just shoot me a PM.

gukl:
thanks guys its just so frustrating having nothing to do than the basic rest, eat well, elevation!
