Injury!
This is what the countryside did to me, I used to have an ankle, now I have an elephant’s foot. This never happened in London. Stupid countryside.
Still, after Sarah suggested soaking a cloth in apple cider vinegar, putting the cloth around my ankle and wrapping it in clingfilm, today I woke up with it feeling 1000 times better; still swollen but I can now walk up the stairs without Shaun laughing at me I should be saved from having to have any physiotherapy.
Result.
(sorry about crap photo, my pc is broken and I’m on an old version of WordPress and don’t know how to upload the photos properly)
Stats:
Elephant’s feet: 1
Ankles smelling of vinegar: 1
Crap photos: 1
Ouch, ouch, ouch. Ice pack is the answer. There’s a bit in Runners World about how to make one from scratch.
Ooooh, ouch. That’s the best running injury I’ve seen in a while.
Ouch, looks nasty.
Give peas a chance!
So, another one bites the dust! What the hell have you been doing? Actually, don’t answer that, I’ll read your other blog posts.
I think I’ll be ok for the Crisis run, how’s your leg Leighsa?
That looks painful! I suffered in very similar ways from recent cross country efforts, I was more worried about my shiny new Mizunos getting dirty in the mud though! Frozen peas and Ibuprofen are definitely the answer.
Did Sarah explain about how this cider vinegar thingy works?
No, do you know?
That looks so painful I actually wish I hadn’t seen it – The Stuff Of Nightmares. Hope it gets better soon.
minging! hope it goes down soon
OMG… that is scary painful looking…get better soon jb.
Ouch!. When you are on the mend, consider getting a wobble board to aid recovery and strengthen your ankles. really helped me last autumn.
arrrrchhh!!!!
