Danny Kearns Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hey people, just thought i'd let you know. Was out riding on the 12th May, around 10pm, been riding since like 9am, was tired, achy, not concentrating. Went for tap a green electrical box, didnt make it, was talking as i sepped backwards and BAM:So, yes, i rolled my ankle stepping off a curb. So went up the hospital following morning, Me personally thought it was just a sprain. Anyways after 4 hours in the waiting room, finally get x-rays etc done, for them to tell me its "Soft tissue damage", just ice it and keep it rested for 5-7 days and you'll be fine. Got a call off Si the physio that night, we had a long chat on the phone and told me to send him some pics of the ankle, he straight away told me i had ligament damage, so he come up and had a good look at it etc and put me in a back slab because the swealing was too bad for a full cast. So he come back up today, took the back slab off and put me a full cast on. And here i am now and will be for 6 weeks . Shows to show how good the NHS are....Btw, im not actually happy about doing my foot in, Si was making me laugh LmaoJust thought i'd let you guys know Regards,Danny.

georgieporgie Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 ouch... unlucky The thing with casts is that your in them for however long the doctor says, i had ligament and tendon damage in my knee but no cast and was back on my bike within 1 month instead of 3 (sorry that really didnt help )Unless your like my mate who cut his cast of in the car on the way back from hospital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Jones Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) Bad luck dude! Hope the six weeks is up really quickly! Out of interest, did Si charge you anything? Cos he seems to offer all this advice, traveling all over the country to see peoples injuries and doesn't charge a penny, which must leave him seriously out of pocket.

Tomm Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 So, yes, i rolled my ankle stepping off a curb. So went up the hospital following morning, Me personally thought it was just a sprain.

Shows to show how good the NHS are....To be fair, ligaments are soft tissue so what you did was just soft tissue damage - I.e. no broken bones. But yeah, the NHS seems pretty terrible for sports injuries/ligament things. Looks like Si sorted you out though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, the NHS seems pretty terrible for sports injuries/ligament things. Looks like Si sorted you out though The guy who dealt with my ankle said "2 weeks and it'll be fine." Ho ho ho...I'm almost pretty certain that when I went into hospital 'cos of a pretty big fall to hand on the edge of a metal plate, causing this:That I'd done more than "Just knocked it." They said that they looked at the X-rays and didn't think anything was broken, but they didn't sound 100% sure, and the mobility in my thumb on that hand's a bit limited compared to my other hand.Si - I'm supposed to be seeing a physio I know when uni's done, if he thinks I've done the same thing you do, I'll go with you for treatment? Just wanted to get a second opinion with someone who I know who's pretty close first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
