    Default i think i broke it

    my foot i have twisted my ankle a ton of times IN my shoes but tonight i twisted it barefoot and it hurts like nothing ive ever felt. i had it propped up and ice on it for over an hour and the swelling hasnt gone down any.. i probably wont be able to work at least the rest of the week, which i hate because over break(from school) i planned on working at least 5 days a week since i can. my poor ankle hurts so bad and is swollen up to 3 times the size of the other one.. i'm hping i'll wake up tomorrow and it will have gone down..

    annnnd unfortunately, i took a percacet (sp?) hoping to feel better but i only feel sick.. my mom always gets sick from pain pills and i never take them but i was in so much pain i couldnt stop crying, and now i feel sick on top of it. great.

    I think it would be wise to go to the ER and have it X-rayed...NOW! You can only do more harm than good by waiting.

    You should definitely go and have it X-Rayed. I am notorious for breaking stuff (toes, arms.. etc...)

    Can you put pressure on it at all? It could either be a sprain or a break, but they'd have to see it with an X-Ray before they could make the call.

    Yeah, go to the ER. If you don't and it's broken, you could wind up crippled for life.

    yeah, if its your FOOT or ankle and not just your toe, you're going to need a cast..and it may take weeks to heal

    Exactly what I was thinking! Please let us know the results..I hope it's just a really bad sprain and it isn't broken

    If you don't go to the ER or to your doctor, it will only get worse, and could cause permanent damage, that could end you dancing

    I agree get it looked at - they may want to break it ( sorry for that news ) bad sprains can last a lifetime . I am finding that all my small injuries from years past haunt me as I get older . All those aches and pains are from shit I did in the past as I am slowly figuring this out LOL .

    If it is just a bad sprain - use arnica gel on it - that stuff is amazing for sprains - it brings down the swelling and bruising much more quickly than otherwise. I used to get sprains all the time, and it has my full endorsement. Also, make sure you get physical therapy exercises for when it has healed whether it's a sprain or a break, 'cause otherwise, like Cally said, it will haunt you for years, and be much more likely to be re-injured.

    my ankle is fractured. i have to wear a boot and cant work for at LEAST 2 weeks i have my fingers crossed that after i go back to the doctor in 2 weeks i'll be ok to just be a sitter and not on stage. i probably won't be able to dance on stage for 6 weeks. i dont know how i managed to do this BAREFOOT when i've never hurt myself with the damn shoes on. plus side: i get vicoden. haha, if i cant go anywhere, can't drive, NOTHING for 2 weeks, i might as well just be too out of it to be depressed. keep your fingers crossed for me that i can be out of this damn boot soon because if not, i dont know how i'm going to drive to school once break is over

    and i absolutely am going to go CRAZY not being at the club for 2-6 weeks.

    Aw honey that sucks! Maybe talk to your club and ask if you can be a door girl for two weeks? Then you can at least get some cash in and maybe some tips from your customers that feel bad for you! I'm so glad it was just a fracture, a break would have been really really terrible! Are you allowed to wear boots at your club? Or leg warmers? When you do dance again you are gonna want to keep your foot wrapped, and then cover up the wrap with boots or leg warmers.

    yeah, natalie, i can wear boots or leg warmers.. thats good idea! and the door girl was a good idea too.. have i mentioned yet that you are my favorite advice giver? hehe.. thank you guys ALL for your advice.

    i'm really upset, though.. the pain is so bad i get nauseous, however you spell that, and i really cant take the pain medicine because it'll prob. make me sick. i hate hate hate the thought of being stuck at home, on the couch or in bed, for the next 2 weeks. but my plan is just to wear the damn boot in hopes that it'll get better and i can go back to work faster. this sucks so much.

    Definitely keep the boot on, and once it comes off, do your physical therapy! My ex-husband kept re-fracturing the same ankle over and over until finally he wore the damn boot, kept it immobile for six weeks, and then afterward he went walking on the beach every day to build strength back up. He hasn't broken it since, and that was about three years ago. If you're near a beach, walking on sand will give it a really great workout and force it to build up more quickly. But don't do that until the doctor tells you it's okay.

    And I dunno about you, because I know some people really love it, but Vicodin makes me so fucking sick! I had to take it on two separate occasions, and each time I spent two or three days vomiting, dry-heaving, and feeling like absolute hell. If you do try taking it, make sure you have plenty of water and you don't have anywhere to be.

    Here's to a speedy recovery!
