So I was doing yard work, had a chainsaw in one hand a some small tree limbs in another. I took a bad step off a large log with loose fitting steel caps onto a hidden limb under some leaves, and "bam" my ankle rolled inwards and went "POP" like a champagne cork.

I managed to eventually walk back inside and shower, ice it and elevate.

Day 1: Pain wasn't really an issue unless I moved it. It clicks. Used a compression bandage. Walking stick. Swelling starts.

Day 2: Swelled up like an apple ankle, no numbness, some red bruising but nothing major yet, and I can put weight on it sometimes in certain directions.

Day 3: That's tomorrow. After the first couple of days thinking I'll never walk properly again I think it's getting better.

My question is how many of you have rolled/sprained/popped/cracked your ankle?

What was the end result?

Everyone keeps telling me to go to emergency or the doctor. What can they do? It's such a common thing apparently/

What did you do?
