Who is watching this with sprained foot
Edit: This was 3 years ago, still getting comments lol

It’s tiring hopping everywhere and having to stand on one foot

When you're on the job and you miss a step and sprain your ankle and now you're here 😅

[samrocketfitsjerols]

Me: sprained ankle
Also me: keeps walking although in pain
Friend: bro you good?
Me: yes I'm good I think Call a doctor

[ojoipgb]

I'm either crawling on the floor, hopping like a bunny, or walking super ultra slow like a snail get to places or walking like



Edit:Thanks for the likes! I'm all better now btw. (Took me like a week to heal, can't really remember) Hope you get better as well!!

Edit 2: I got better by actually trying to walk on the sprained foot since I have school and have no choice but to walk around. I guess it like makes the foot exercise and helps it heal faster.

I have a sprained ankle and my parents keep calling me lazy and “sorry” When I physically can NOT walk without it hurting, they don’t understand it hurts soo bad.

[oreokat]

I think I sprained my ankle, in P.E we had to run 8 laps and while I was running I stepped wrong, when I walk my foot really hurts

[barbarak]

THANK YOU omg bc i was just about to cry! Sprained my ankle 6 days ago in practice and im still on crutches and idk when im gonna be able to play volleyball again 😢 probably not soon..
So this comforted me because now im more comfortable with putting some weight on my ankle.

Anyone whos watching this with a sprained ankle? I mean me 😓

[ajchacon]

I sprained my ankle trying to do a layup in basketball and my family said " Would you like some cheese with that whine" My ankle was swollen and purple

[vickyvic]

What happens when you constantly walk on a sprained ankle that hurts badly?

[_Super_Hans_]

The weird thing is I remember rolling my ankle while jogging on an uneven surface but it didn't hurt at all until the morning after now it's difficult to walk on but no swelling. I really hate not being able to exercise

[RudeBoi]

I think my sprain isn’t too bad. The first day I couldn’t walk I had a really bad limp and it took forever to move a few feet. Today is the second day and after putting ice on it and keeping it elevated or the most part. When I first get up it hurts but after moving around I still have a limp but I can walk better not perfect but for day 2 I think that a good sign. Swelling went down but it is still swollen and I don’t have full movement. I have 5 days to heal up then it’s back to work.

I rolled both my ankles and I don’t know what to do I had to crawl up the stairs to my apartment

[wildgamerz]

All I did was walk, stepped wrong and it twisted and sprained. I nearly dislocated it.

[anderalexandra]

Who else is jumping on left foot trying to do stuff and not having fun?....just

[puma]

I got a mild sprain on my left ankle a few days ago in P.E. (I was doing high rope jumps and my foot got caught on the rope lmao). I hope it heals quickly bc I'm not tryna go to finals with a sprained ankle 😔

[Scorpionbite]

The most underrated, undertreated injury. R.I.C.E. only works for very, very minor sprain. It does not work for torn ligaments, pulled nerves or tendons. I found heat is the answer and rest are the answer. Average ankle sprain will take a minimum of 3 months to start to regain normacy.

Holy shit this guy blinks a lot
