Netball… of all the sports I play during the week (a lot by anyone’s standard) this one got me. I am told it is not so easy on the ankles though. Anyways, I ain’t too sure whats wrong with it yet, but it bloody well hurts. Possibly just a bad roll but could also be something worse.

My question is, what do I do now?

I really would like to be fighting fit by next Sat as I am sitting on 83 n.o. and want to make my tonne!

Can you walk on it? I’ve fractured my ankles too many times to remember….I once did a flake fracture….the doctor at emergency got very excited about that one!

If you can hobble along its fair to say its not broken….rest it and put some ice on it to bring out the bruising….if you are sensible you should be OK to resume next weekend with a runner!

And what are you doing playing bloody netball…you great woopsie!

Right no gym, golf, soccer, football or cricket till next saturday.. What the hell am I gonna do all week! Yea I can walk on it, although there is pain there. I am pretty sure it ain’t broke.

Rest, Ice, elevation

get a scan or xray tomorrow if you are able. Important to be treating the right problem

At least you’ll get the red ink next week. I think your gone for the season Mr.c.

Fantasy sport will be your limit for a while

I certainly hope its not a season ender! Do you think it smarter to go to the physio first then let them sus it out, or straight for the xray then to the physio?

LOL….yeah you could be sidelined for a few months if youre not carefull…..make sure you have lots of beer and ‘Homer style snacks’ at hand…..before long you’ll have gained enough weight to rid yourself of all those other sports and stick with golf!

Also, does rest mean I shouldn’t be walking around? or just not doing 100m sprints?

Scan first…a physio will just look and may say get a scan/xray….if you are seriously worried get a scan but if its just sore to walk on then I’d just rest and elevate as HC suggested…..an xray will cost you best part of $100 I think!

Rest means keep the weight off and keep the ankle above your heart!

There must be some medical experts on here???

Ok thanks for the clarification. Also how long am i keeping this ice and elevation up?

You will just know….when the bruising comes out it will be on the mend….is it swollen? Certainly for the next 24/48 hours? But I’m no Doctor Mr C….maybe Gribbles is more able to help?

Mr C ..NETBALL and you a lefty..The shame ,the shame in the words of Sylvesters son,but heaps of ice and heat and try to stay off it for at least 3 days if it hurts,if it swells up twice the size and throbs like F**K you may have done major damage.But bloody netball,just once,just once couldn’t you lie to us :)))

LOL Lefty! Mate if you see some of the girls we get to rub up against you would be putting a team in yourself.

Walrus, to be honest I havent taken my sock off yet. Kinda scared at what I may see. I will keep up the ice on ice off for a few days then.

Mate, now I know why you’re under me in fantasy…lol

For all grades of ankle sprain follow the R.I.C.E. principles as soon as possible:

Rest your ankle – do not walk on it.

Ice – this helps to keep the swelling down. Use ice on the injury several times a day for 15-20 minutes (more than 20 minutes is not advised)

Compressive bandages are needed to immobilize the ankle sprain and to support the injury.

Elevate the ankle above your heart level for as much as you can for 48 hours.

pretend your a girla dn stick your legs in the air Mrs.C.

after playing netball perhaps you don’t have to pretend.

I agree with the others MrC….what is the point of behaving like a girl to get near a girl….now go and line up for your cup of concrete with the Holden fans.

What I want to see is a photo of Mr C in a netball skirt. That should just about make everybodies day!!! Really Mr C havn,t you heard of singles bars???

Unlike you Pom – I can live without that picture in my mind. I think it would make me wake up screaming. It would be worse than Glennbo standing on his head sculling beers last week

Too late now…the mental image is in place and let me tell you…its ugly!

Jeez you lot are a bunch of comedians! ;-)

A bad day on the golf course is better than no golf at all. :(
