Dont waste life playing, its over soon enough!

[endermigne]

Whow, is this the international hurt-your-foot-week???

Last friday a workmate came in with his left foot looking just like yours. He said he was playing badminton. Though he's the kind of guy who could have done anything else to get that (e.g. poking the nose).

Today I was about leaving my office and twisted my right foot on the way down the stairs. I hardly managed to keep standing. Though I was lucky as I still had stairs covering like 3 meters of height ahead of me... And we have rather steep stairs at the office! Though there are better ways to head home of course.

It still does hurt but I have no clue about what it's going to look like tomorrow. I hope my foot ain't planning to look like yours...

Was just gonna say that... Noone else noticed the extreme irony here?
(Not that i usually make jokes about people hurting themselves but this one is... well damn... Warning people not to sit playing PE/EU all day, after just following your own advice and while doing that seriously hurting yourself is just... priceless )

Hope you recover soon m8, like others say its pretty individual how "good" you foot gets after something like this, but almost all get back to "no problems in daily life" afaik.
Situation where you could get problems is more likely if you start doing heavy excercises, expecting to reach "elite" lvls etc since the part that got torn will most likely be "weaker" than normal for a very long time if not forever...

(Oh and the translation is "a ligament", so which one is hard to know unless he told you more specifially i guess..)

ATFL (anterior talo-fibular ligament) tear is the most common damaged ligament of the anklejoint, I am studying it for a test in a few days

It should heal with proper attention and some physio/treatment, go visit an osteopath

BTW, that reminds me, I should be studying

Ouch!

looks painful. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Note to self: "Don't stop playing EU, on the advice that 'life is too short', the results of following such advice hurt!"

Let me start off my post by saying: GET BETTER SOON!
I know how it is to get hurt when you are trying to be more active. I tore part of my MCL in the Army while running. Every doctor I have been to has told me that I will never be able to run again and said I will have pain my whole life no matter what I do for it. The doctors may be right, but I still live my life like the injury never happened, and I am much better for it. I play football on the beach, and I work outside up to 10 hours a day, and I love it! Granted, I will be fairly crippled by the time I hit 40, but since I got my injury I have told myself to make the best out of every moment life hands me. Heal up, do your physical therapy, and try to continue your life as much as you can, even if that means putting up with the pain to have fun. There will be days when you can't get out of bed because you are hurting to bad, but the days you can, go out and run, do some work in the sun, and come home exhausted. Its way more fulfilling knowing you got the best you could out of each day while you can. The worst thing you could do is sit around inside all day and not push yourself physically.

I wish you the best of luck with your injury, get well soon!

Thanks for all the support

..and yes If I only had stayed in on saturday playing EU none of this would have happend

I know Im not in any life threating danger here... but this really was a wakeup call for me. Things that I take for granted, like health and all that can be gone in just a second. I dont wanna get to paranoid, that I can die any second, but things like playing games 6hours a day 7 days a week... like my last 3 years are history now.
