This happened about an hour ago, so it'll probably swell more and get worse overnight.
Needless to say, I've called off work tomorrow since I don't feel like hauling dead UPS units around on it.

So.. I'll be around more in IRC =]  :thumb:

lol, you wuss, goto work, i played football on worse! seriously tho, ive twisted my left ankle so many times its in a state of permanent swelling..  i should take pics of mine, mine looks like that and its NOT swollen

You really should have that checked out.  :surprise:

It looks pretty bad man

lol , I even went to training with a broken ankle ,wel , it didnt hurt , just couldnt walk very wel with it .

Update: The swelling has spread, but the pain is going away. I've been keeping the foot iced & elevated as much as I can stand sitting at my PC. I don't think it looks any better, but at least I can rotate my ankle and walk up stairs.

Here's a new comparison pic for you guys to feast your eyes on:
(left is normal foot, right is sprained ankle... and I just unwrapped it from last night, so forgive the bandage marks)

Updated Foot (http://dl.downloadhosting.com/download/tekhead/3rdday-comparison.jpg)

I find myself more angry than symphathetic towards myself because of this. Grrr.... heal already!

Have you been to the doctor yet?

At this point, I'm considering it... I'll see what another day of elevation and icing can do for me though.

Yar... that doesn't look too pleasant.  Hopefully the swelling will go down some more tomorrow :)  Although, I recommend going to the doctor as well if it doesn't, especially if your foot starts sprouting metal tentacles besides the swelling. ;)

KAIN-XAVIER, I NEED A WORD WITH YOU. NOW. (http://dl.ord.downloadhosting.com/download/tekhead/tent.jpg)

LOL!  I meant more along the lines of Akira, but Doctor Octopus works as well. :p

Akira was one sporked-up movie. O_o

My GF who works in this field as a podietrist (US folks may call this chropidist) says you should see a doctor. says it might be broke. she has 21 years experance at the job, so LISTEN TO HER!

i do.

you could end up like Professer X otherwise. (she did'nt say that bit)

you mean he can control you with his mind ?

no just bald.

lol

Update: There is some discoloration towards my heel - some dark red/blueish spots. Yeah, I'll go to the doc... yeesh.

ders not a dam thang wrong wit B-N bald......... its sexy & chikaz dig it BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!1111 besdiez wit all dat hair coverin his foots i doutb hell evR have dat prob

Update... it's gotten worse. There is discoloration along the bottom of my heel on both sides of black and blue, including a few spots of red. I'm going to the doctor in about 30 minutes to get a checkup. My folks took the digital camera, so no pic update... but I think you guys have seen enough of my swollen foot =P

man , wtf did you do to that foot , did ya cut it off and stinged it back on or something , because that can explain the black parts on the foot .

I took a big misstep and rolled it in my TKD club.

Outside-inward, not inward-outside... if the latter were the case, I'd have a garunteed broken ankle =/

what did the doc say

No clearly visible fractures according to a quick look-over on the x-ray... it seems to be just a really bad sprain (thankfully). I've also recieved a happy perscription for some stuff that's 3x stronger than advil and a doc's note that I shouldn't lift anything heavy for a while.

I should be OK in a month or two =]

Good luck on the healing, it sounds like you'll be limping for a while!

Good to hear the good news

I did the same kind of thing once... sat on a girls floor playing the guitar to impress and maybe 'spend the night,' <3 leg had gone to sleep, stood up didn't see it was bend over! and and kind of had to do a forward roll to stop from falling on my face.

Did spend the night, on the couch, ankle packed in ice. got better in 3 weeks.
 :evil:
