ugh... i sprained my ankle
i landed wrong after spiking the volleyball. and darnit, i knew i was gonna land wrong after i jumped, but i couldn’t stop from rolling onto the top of my left ankle.
the doc says it’s not a fracture, and if this had been my first sprain, i wouldn’t have even gone to the doctor. but with the recurrent sprain and the feeling of a torn ligament, i just know i need to take more measures to heal properly. my ligaments are soooo loose that i rolled it far beyond what anyone else would do. so hopefully, with this ortho referral, i will be able to get some type of orthosis to help stabilize my ankles.
i’m thinking this:
or this:
or maybe an active ankle:
for some reasons the prices look much more affordable now than when i checked up on them a couple of months ago, but if the doctor prescribes them, then they’ll be totally free! and hopefully they also give me the orthotics so that when i sleep i don’t wake up with the numb feet i have been, maybe due to plantar fasciitis, but hopefully treatable…
ugh… why am i so broken so young?!?!
