R Foot, Ankle Sprain

2013-03-29 – 2013-04-16

Grade: 2

Flared high at Ellenville and tweaked it (no twist, just came down on it kind of hard, no pain at the time of injury). Occasional pain when I move it wrong, was able to do a 26km street-O two days later, but not without considerable pain, especially on rough surfaces. Very slight visible swelling.

Iced it after the run, and after a couple of days of normal activity, I didn't particularly feel anything in that area. But then ten days after the initial injury I went for a run in the woods, and it was soon as bad as ever.

After 2.5 weeks, I'm not sure it was completely healed up, but I went for a run wearing an Active Ankle with no pain, so I cen at least go out without concern, and the injury is therefore managed.
