Take it from me, keep off the thing as long as possible!!!! I all but broke my ankle almost 2 years ago, and it would have been a quicker healing process and more comfortable recovery if i had broken it! It still to this day gives me trouble! Once it's healed go see a physio for any rehab that'll help strengthen it. I've only got about 60% of the inversion eversion flexibilty in my left ankle than I do in my right, thats from scar tissue and no rehab plan. DOH!!!
yea i know how i broke it i rolled it over past 90 degrees and i work in a heavy metal shop so i move steel around all day 250-5 lb pieces i jsut talked to my boss i got the forklift for the better part of next week so i dont have to carry it and the doc gave me a really nice steel brace that is a merical. i put it on and i can forget about it it wont let me twist turn or move my ankle at all once i put it on
Hey Jamie, you think you could stop stalking me? Every where I post there you are!!!! rofl
OOOOPPSS!! You got here first

Something must be in the air! I think I just broke my ankle too! F#*$!! I am pissed! Did a hike with my girlfriend and her family here on maui, what she claimed was a 4 mile hike ended up being a 9 mile hike. We left a car at the start and one at the end, well when we got to the end someone had left the keys for that car in the car at the start:vangry
Being the nice guy I decided to hitch hike back to the other car... Well on that mellow walk I ended up rolling my ankle, no big deal, didnt hurt, nothing serious. Well later that night I could barely walk. Today it still hurts, not swolen, not touch sensitive. I dont know what the hell it is. I was supposed to go on a dive tomarrow but I dont think I can handle long fins right now. Guess we will settle with doing some statics in the pool.

THats the thing, I can move it any direction, no pain. As soon as I put pressure on it is when the pain sets in. Im thinking it might be a nerve spasm.
If there isn't much swelling then I doubt it's broken, you may have hurt the nerve, but you may have done some ligament/tendon damage. I'd go get it checked out asap, to atleast confirm no break, but in reality you'd rather break it than tear a ligament. It's a shorter recovery. Let us all know what the verdict is, fingers crossed its just a sprain!
