Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 2425381, member: 7631"] This comment is just barely related to the discussion here: I got the first sprained ankle of my life in June. I just stepped wrong going down stairs and felt like someone jabbed a scalpel in the top/side of my foot. At no point did I feel any pain in normal walking, but some ways of stepping killed me. I saw an orthopedist and was diagnosed with two sprained ligaments, no tears. I couldn't run for 2 weeks, couldn't run in the woods (essential to me in Maryland in the summer) till a few weeks ago due to the roots, so when I hear of athletes coming back from sprained ankles/feet in 1-2 weeks, now I marvel. Of course, I'm almost 3 times Lou's age, whence the "barely related" remark. Plus I wonder if never having injured an ankle in the first 56 years of my life makes recovery more difficult. [/QUOTE]
