Monty_Man_Stoive Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Hey people!Thought i'd share my pain with you, went riding sunday in chelmsford, good weather, riding well, then at the end of the ride my brake slipped on a stupid little planter thing in the high street, my bike went backwards, i went forwards, landed well weird on my ankle and was in mega pain, i just though it was badly sprained but it got worse and i had to drive home which didnt help. I couldnt sleep all sunday night so went to hospital monday had x-rays, got poked and prodded by some docs and the conclusion is that ive torn and stretched ligaments or something so its quite a badly sprained ankle in other words, ive got crutches and some hardcore painkillers and anti-inflamitry drugs and i cant ride until its 110% better, so i cant ride the comp this sunday and not sure if it'll be perfect by the next comp DoH![attachmentid=4298][attachmentid=4299]Its abit swollen and by the way , i havent got bad sun burn, its the light in the hospital and poor quality of a camera phone Oh well, just have to wait, look on the bright side, ive got time off work paid and even better, next time i go for a ride 1st time im better its going to be on a brand spanking new 20" full bulid bike and i cant wait and i aint telling no one what it is until it arrives at my door ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robonatomz Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 wow, i did my ankle like that over a year ago, ignored it but it dent go away, just went all black and blue, ended up having to see a physio in october to have the ligaments re torn and set in the rite place. Very painfull! then put in a cast for 2 weeks. [leg wasted away] and its just gettin back to norm now.So basicly geez make sure its fixed proper before you start to ride again, cuz i didnt and it ended up takin 18 months to get it rite!rob.

I did have to try and take photo's of my feet though but you seem to have already done that.I also remember him saying his first consultation with trials riders is free because we're crazy Seriously, free first consultation... you can't say no if its free.

Rich Pearson Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Simons the man. Been treating me for over a year and he just never stops helping people. His MSN is silord@hotmail.com and he's welcome to anyone with ANY KIND OF PROBLEM (concerning bones, ligaments, muscles, etc) getting in touch with him for a consultation. Just moved in near me as well so I get to get boozey with him on a social occasion rather than just when he doesn't have any anesthetic handy.Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
