    ^^ Yes, you did. :frowning: There are a lot of bruised feet and swollen ankles here. Are you broken or just badly bruised?

    That was about a year and a half ago. They said probably torn ligaments, wanted me to go to PT, but since I have that HSA crap and not really "insurance", I didn't go; need to save that money for if/when either of us needs surgery. I didn't even get any good pain meds for it..."oh just take some ibuprofen". :eyeroll:

    Good to see the bar being raised here.Imalive it looks like you got a good dose of shrapnel.

    RK,you should paint your toes next time that happens in the same color tones as the bruise.One must not let disfigurement and bruising interfere with fashion and style.

    That pic was taken the day after I fell (i should have gone to the doctor right after it happened, but I had to work on the other house, and I was 30 miles away from home). My ankle kept changing colors every day, eventually my entire foot was some color other than 'skin colored'. Next time I twist my ankle, I'll keep that in mind before I take a pic.

    I removed the skin flap (after the potato peeling incident) and have revealed a little hole. I'd ask for some slack regarding the state of my nails since I OBVIOUSLY won't be getting them fixed until that stupid thing heals. (the process for removing a gel manicure involved soaking the nail in acetone for 10 minutes or so.)

    I fell down the stairs...

    that is totally how my foot looked when I had the cheese grater leg.....my ankle never did return to its normal size and I finally went to a doctor maybe 2 months later....they sent me for an ultrasound (that my insurance wouldn't pay for) but that showed nothing. I still don't have a normal ankle....I have a cankle.

    If I had known then what I know now...

    Damn you are all a clumsy bunch. In a sad way I am impressed at your injuries and sad that I have nothing to share. I can't remember the last time I bit it or hurt myself. I'm either really good or not living right.

    Well, at least you were getting cold water on it. Think of how it might have looked without that!

    I, too, have no gruesome pics to share. I guess I am just naturally graceful.

    I have those same adiddias sandals!

    The nurse at the walk in (or is it hobble in?) clinic was not happy...I should have worn regular shoes she tells me. Uhhh...my foot is like 2 sizes bigger than my shoe size, how am I gonna shove my swollen foot in a shoe? Fuckers.

    These ankle photos are bringing back memories. Too bad I don't have any from my original sprain. Ironically, I also sprained the left one. That makes three of us now with left ankle sprains? The hell man lol

    i twisted/sprained the hell out of my left foot in 3rd grade playin football during recess. torn ligaments & tendons feel wonderful. the sucker became black & blue & purple & stuff. as 19 kids tackle me, my ankle goes one way, the rest of me goes the other way. then the bell rings... everyone disappears including teachers on recess duty. im picking myself up off the ground & hobbling to the school & upstairs to the second floor where the nurse's office is located.

    wore a plaster cast for 6-8 weeks maybe longer. ripe = the stink after dad cut the cast off.

    i used to twist that ankle constantly. dammit that hurts
