Probs made it sound a bit to dramatic with the title. :P Anyway I jumped of a wall/roof about 11/12 foot high (twice the size of me) 2 weeks ago and really hurt my ankle/heal. I thought that it had healed yesterday because I hadn't felt any pain from it for a few days. I had forgotten all about it and set of running as normal to get to the bust stop yesterday and after running like 20 metres it suddenly started hurting more than it has ever hurt before. I stopped and turned back as I wasn't really that bothered about going to Argos. So since yesterday it has been hurting constantly even when I am not walking. It's a sharp pain in the lower end of my ankle and goes right down to my heal. If I move all of my toes quite far apart it hurts like hell. Does anyone know what might of happened to my foot/ankle? Thankss.

Mint, you should go to A&E and get it xrayed. Doesn't sound right at all.

Are you sure? I didn't think that it would be something serious even though it does hurt quite a bit. I might end up going tommorow if it is still hurting though.

[Wahey]

Could of strainded a few muscles

[Toughened]

I wouldn't go as far as a&e.
Maybe like a walk-in center or something?
Somewhere where you can get it checked out quite quickly I suppose but it doesn't sound serious enough for a&e.

Yes I am sure - jumping off a 12ft wall could have done some damage which you might now have made worse. I would get it checked just to make sure.:)

Use ice packs for the now to numb it up for abit untill you go to the doctors or A&E

Well its an acccident not an emergency - they do look at non-serious problems. If he goes to a walk -in the first thing they will say is go to the hospital for an Xray. :)

[Excellent2]

Sounds like you may have pulled muscles or damaged some ligaments. Rest up for about a week and see how it feels.

[Catchy]

You should deffo get it checked out or something, you never know! My mate didn't know he'd broke his foot till he decided to get it checked out like one week later! Lol!

Very good advice - I did the same and ended up in a cast for weeks longer than it should have been.

Achilles tendon injuries are very common

Wow that seems to be exactly where my foot was hurting, I have rested it since I made this thread and it has improved a lot. I only notice it a bit now if I walk to hard. Bet if I started running it would go back to square 1 though :/. I'm gonna look achilles tendon injury up. Thanks. :)

Ah, that doesn't sound right... I'd go see like a doctor about that, and maybe get an xray on it.

But I might be sounding a bit dramatic.

[lew!]

I'd go get it checked out, just to be sure. My brother hurt his ankle when he was younger, he just sprained it and it hurt for a bit and then it went away, a few weeks ago he had an operation because it turnt out a cyst grew in his ankle becuase it messed up the bone or something..

Definately get it checked out, it could just be the ligaments or something but better to be safe than sorry!

[:Technical]

I suggest you use icepacks (bag of frozen peas!) before you go. Take it easy.
If it doesn't go away and if its shooting pains then itl probaby be fractured - at worst.

It sounds to me like a badly bruised bone.
