Last night I fell down a flight of stairs and rolled my ankle bad. It’s black and blue and swollen but my s/o has no sympathy for me already. In context I only ask her to help me to the bathroom. Besides crawling, which I do now, should I duke it out more? I just don’t understand, I can’t physically put weight on it(without involuntarily screaming).

    Tbh breaks are usually less complicated than ligaments tearing.

    Bones just need to be in place for like 7 weeks. Boom. Healed.

    Ligaments are fussy. Gotta really break em back in after they heal.

      Yeah certain movements feel “tight” and a bit uncomfortable to do. Figured it’d be a bit longer until i felt normal again.

        I recommend hiking. Easy hiking, just woodland paths with roots and rocks and stuff.

        Pavement is good at first but it won’t force you to use all the… Nooks and crannies of your ligament so to speak.

        Unexpectedly uneven footing will get those back up to snuff.
