So I sprained my ankle a couple of weeks ago playing Volleyball. Can I just say that was the most painful thing I have ever felt! Seriously...it was worse than a contraction. I couldn't breath I couldn't think. I just kept telling myself not to cry or to throw up. If I wouldn't have had a crowd of people around me I probably would have done both. I wish I would have thought to get a picture of it the first few days after it happened. It didn't dawn on me to write anything about it until last night when I put up the last post. Oh well. Here are the pictures of what it looks like after about two weeks.

Geez, that looks bad!! You poor thing! I've sprained my ankle before but never that bad! Hope it gets better soon!
Sometimes a sprain can actually be more painful and take longer to heal than a brake. Sorry about the ankle sprain. Dan sprained his ankle about a year ago and I tried to help him heal and also wanted to take him to my clinic for treatment. He didn't really take my advice on anything. He was being a stubborn fool and not taking help from the expert. Well needless to say, it did finally heal, but I could have helped it heal faster. Good luck!
Mindy-
It was so good to talk to you to day it's been along time I really have missed your friendship. We need to get together one day and go to lunch. Give me a call when you have a day to go.
The best thing for swelling is elevation. Also a frozen bag of peas is the best ice pack. Try both of those before bed and some Advil or Aleve.
Oh, that looks bad! So sorry! When I broke my little toe and it was bent the wrong way I felt the same way you did. I thought for sure I would throw up. Way to be tough for the crowd! Hope you feel better soon.
Ummm eeeewwwww gross. Smiles :) Just kidding. I hope you are doing better.
