I've sprained my ankles, feet, and wrists many times in the past, but it was never very bad, never like my recent ankle sprain.
On the 29th, my knee gave out while climbing out of my semi causing me to fall. I landed hard on my left foot on uneven ground with a few inch difference in height and twisted my ankle. Had severe pain, nausea, then got real tired and fell asleep for a few hours.
After a few days I was able to walk almost fine again and the pain has been nearly gone.
But it's now more then a week later and the swelling is still bad, I'm starting to get bruising all around my foot, been exhausted since falling, and I can hardly rotate my ankle to point my toes in or out (no pain, just hardly moves), and can't pivot on it while standing or walking.
Anybody else have a bad sprain and know if this stuff is normal?
Still on the road until next week so can't go to the doctor until at least Monday or Tuesday.
