L Foot, Ankle Sprain
2008-03-16 – 2008-04-22
Grade: 2
Happened at Laxträffen, long distance. After 7 km I was on my way fast down really nice slope with fast (but stony) leaf-forest.. *BANG* (Twist) Just fall and it hurted like fuck.
Jumped on one foot down to a river. Cooled the foot down some degrees. Jumped 2 km on one foot to help. Tight it up there very hard and went to hospital, but so long waiting-time for X-ray, so I skiped that. It felt okay, but the size of the foot was big over the injury. Took six week to go away totaly. Thanks to Mia Jodal, that said to me: Run flat if possibleas fast as possible. Do strength and balance training every day. Maybe I did it some days, but it got better fast and didn't hurt to run, so I thought it was okay. But it was swollen many weeks.. A lot of tape all the time and the first two weeks I used a Active-ancle sort of protection from Switzerland (girlfriend Rachel's).
