Query about ankle Injury?
Five days ago i rolled over on my ankle walking home from dinner. When it happened I felt a snap and the pain and swelling with instantaneous. I was taken to hospital and x rayed and later told it was just sprained ankle and to go home rest it and ice it which I have done.
I went back to my local Dr on Tuesday and she was concerned about the amount of swelling and suggested a repeat x ray in 3 days but the pain is becoming unbearable. For the past two days I have been woken by the pain shooting up my leg and that's after resting it for 8 hrs.
I did tear my ligaments about ten yrs ago in the same ankle but I can't remember ever being in this amount of pain with it. The pain killers I was given don't seem to be working so is this normal with a sprain?
I have a appt back with the Dr tomorrow but it's putting up with the pain till then. Does anyone have any suggestions?

think about going to a good manicurist and discussing the problem with them.
this is a hard habit to overcome and looking back over many lovely years of nail biting and probably nearly as many more of long nails i think some of it comes from a lack of self confidence.
mind you long nails like mine are now can be a bummer when you are typing.
i wish you luck.
