changelingOkay, so I'm procrastinating about going to bed.
I decided I wanted to look up sprained ankles. This is what this website had to say:
Depending on how bad the damage is, these symptoms will usually go away between one and four weeks after the accident.
The immediate tenderness can persist for one to four weeks, depending on the extent of the damage. Support-related pain can persist for up to three months. (My emphasis)
So. I sprained my ankle on the 20th of December. It's now the early hours of February 5th. That's almost seven weeks. I still have noticable swelling, and reduced mobility, even with no weight on the ankle. I'm so getting mum to check this up tonight. I want some sort of confirmation that something isn't seriously wrong. I've had my ankle strapped for almost every day since having it sprained and it's playing merry hell with my skin.
