| Fat Rat | 3 days | take care of it! | details |
| Tooms | 3 days | Healed quicker than any ankle sprain before... why?? Was a bad sprain but kept running on it for another 60mins. NSAIDs, ice and then taped all within 20mins of taking shoe off, elevated end of bed with pillow under the mattress, still sore next morning but by end of day was good. Now 3 days later is a bit tender but otherwise functional! | details |

| ebone | 6 days | Like many small strains and sprains that I get while ramping up my training, this went away with just a little care (mostly to walk carefully when barefoot and to wear arch supports most of the time). | details |
| Ratlaf | 6 days | details | |
| kala | 6 days | details | |
| DragonFly | 6 days | Just let time and rest heal this injury. Update: I misjudged my recovery as my ankle was easily re-injured on my second run. I wasn't 100% as I thought I was, more like 50%! I've only sprained my ankle once previously as a teenager, so my experience in this matter was lacking. See new entry for second round. | details |

| IndyBass | 7 days | I probably should have called this "recovered" a couple of days ago, but I haven't been back to the treadmill to test it. The outside of the foot is still stiff, and the ankle is now generally sore. | details |

| Daniele | 10 days | Totale Ruhe scheint sich ausbezahlt zu haben. Verletzung war wahrscheinlich nicht ganz so schlimm, wie ich damals angenommen habe. Werde jetzt nochmals 4 Tage nix machen und dann in Finnland mit dem MalleoLoc laufen. | details |
| ioana | 10 days | Left seems juts fine, but now the right one is a bit tender...nothing major. A liitle rest probably helped. | details |
| dyee | 10 days | Rested the ankle for about a week. Did some short sprints, runs on Sat (week past original injury) and felt pretty good. Did race on Sunday, felt fine. Ran into work on Monday, felt fine. My ankle is still a bit tender, but doesn't seem to complaining about running on it. I'm gonna call it recovered. | details |
| telepanda | 10 days | Foot still a little touchy but we'll call it recovered for the moment. | details |
| o-pia | 10 days | Almost recovered... Running at the o-practis in Bjerkvik, and didn't feel the sprain most of the session... :D | details |

| bmay | 14 days | After about a week, swelling was mostly down, walking/jogging on level terrain Ok. After about 2 weeks, swelling totally gone, feels perfectly fine running on level terrain; hiking on rough terrain Ok (in hiking boots). Will wait to test it in running/O shoes on uneven terrain. | details |
| pcbrent | 14 days | details | |
| _________ | 14 days | Rested from running eventually when I realised it wasn't going to recover if I kept running. MTB substituted, but now I have to get back into running because the MTB has given me a back relapse warning. Life is ablout balancing risks, so I am running again. | details |
| kbreseman | 14 days | Still hurts a little- will try not to turn my ankle too much... | details |

| L-Jackson | 17 days | rest. Was able to be active on it after about a week and a half. Was back to 100% after about 3 weeks (but concerned it is still weak) | details |
| SimonB | 17 days | kept of it for couple of weeks, wore compression bandage during the day for two weeks. pretty much fixed completely | details |
| Stu Hoo | 17 days | Had over 2weeks rest and tested it at a long-o last weekend in preperation for todays Peter Palmers and it held up fine its stil noticable and i'm a bit tentative | details |
| blegg | 17 days | details | |
| blegg | 18 days | Not perfect, but pretty serviceable. With proper taping, I was able to run at full intensity at Anza Borrega. | details |
| C2@syd.au | 18 days | details | |
| danf | 19 days | rest - no running or hiking for a week (only exercise during this period was downhill/x-country skiing which has total ankle support) | details |

| capt'n smythie | 20 days | details | |
| iamsinht | 20 days | I'm still not entirely sure what the nature of the injury was; I know too little about anatomy. The injury was caused by trauma (my mass landing on my ankle), I could still move and rotate my foot relatively freely, but applying weight caused me pain. I noted that my ankle hurt the most when the angle formed by my knee, ankle and toes was less than 90 degrees - e.g. at the end of a step. I sprained my other (left) ankle running, and the injuries were very different - my left ankle didn't h... | details |
| kieran | 21 days | took some time off heavy sessions for a few days. felt a few twinges over a few weeks but seems to be fine now | details |
| mat-d | 21 days | don't jump !! | details |
| Tundra/Desert | 22 days | details | |
| Habu | 22 days | No running at all since the injury. I was able to ride my bike after a few days which I think helped recovery. It's feeling really good now even after a short run today. | details |
| DragonFly | 23 days | I did several things to heal that I didn't do during the first round! Primarily I was more patient to allow gradual healing. Home stretching, strengthening, and balancing exercises. Purchased the Active Ankle T2 and used it for walking then running. My assessment is that I'm at 90% recovered, and that the last 10% will be even more gradual, but I can carefully train again. | details |

| LittleBit | 23 days | details | |

| 3m | 24 days | Swelling has nearly completely gone. Is still really weak and will need to see physio soon to avoidspraining it for a third time! | details |
| Tullster | 24 days | details | |
| Slice | 24 days | details | |
| Eoin | 24 days | Haven't run since; hasn't affected my riding. Swelling has now gone down enough for it to be "fixed". Voltaren, Ice, Warm water was the treatment. | details |
| Schwepps | 25 days | Still a bit sore and will need taping when running for a while to come | details |
| mat-d | 25 days | kinda recovered... or should we say strengthened! | details |

| pfc | 26 days | details | |
| Disco | 26 days | details | |
| Ghost | 26 days | WIsdom, don't fall off your bike! Fully recovered increasing flexability. Left ankle has been damaged many time with history of two breaks last break in 1997 this was a level 4. this ankle also has not had as much range of motion as the right post 1997 break. But gettin better | details |
| daveabrams | 26 days | details | |
| hkleaf | 27 days | The basic R.I.C.E. along with NSAID did the trick. Staying off longer and taping/bracing during run really helped out as well. Shouldn't have raced in the Kicks for Kids 5k. Now I'm dealing with an inflamed tibial plateau. | details |
| mikee | 27 days | Time.... | details |
| Batrider | 28 days | details | |
| hkleaf | 28 days | Just the usual - R.I.C.E. along with NSAID. I'm calling it recovered because the swelling and soreness are gone now. However, the ankle tendons are still weaker than normal, when a sudden turn will trigger momentary pain. Will need to do some strengthening exercises to rehab it to full strength. | details |
| velocity girl | 28 days | details | |
| gruver | 29 days | details | |
| rkinsley | 30 days | I haven't really felt the ankle lately. Seems to be healing. | details |
| olle71 | 30 days | details | |
| nlewiswalls | 30 days | same as last time...although this time I will wear ankle braces for a short term, until I feel that the strength has returned | details |
| 46&2 | 30 days | details | |
| pfc | 31 days | Immediate compression, and lots of ibuprofen. Kept a tight compression bandage on for 4-6 days, with only occassional unwrapping to let it breathe and to shower. Also started with 800 mg ibuprofen and took 400mg every 6 hours for 72 hours. After 2 weeks, able to walk at normal pace and gait. The goal was to fight swelling both internally and externally. Recovered in time to have a good run at the Possum Trot, but I'm consistently using an Active Ankle now. Recovery is a known variable, what I... | details |
| bishop22 | 31 days | Ice and Vitamin I did the trick. It did not seem that avioding running sped recovery, but I should not have gotten back on skates after the injury, until it was 100%. Also, treadmill running seemed to be much less irritating than road or terrain, and I probably should have done more of that throughout the recovery period. | details |
| phil | 31 days | details | |
| apocolypto | 33 days | don't do it again. | details |
| Ezy | 35 days | details | |
| scruff | 35 days | ice, and super compression. Don't get lazy with it. Going to make sure I am doing plenty of strengthing work to get my confidence back with it. | details |
| Lori | 35 days | details | |
| Ursa | 36 days | details | |
| bill_l | 36 days | recovered enough I guess. Toe #4 is still a problem: very swollen and somewhat painful. | details |
| bshields | 37 days | Took about 2 weeks off, although that was mostly because my thesis was due. Probably could have started running sooner. | details |
| Ezy | 39 days | details | |
| inuksuk | 40 days | Really isn't fully recovered, but its now usable and somewhat overshadoewd by the large lumps of tissue along my plantar and the hole in my foot.... | details |
| OnYourLeftCyril | 42 days | rest made this injury go away. i think overuse caused it and maybe a bit of a twist on the trail at c4p. | details |
| RJM | 43 days | PT was only doing a little, (by early-mid sept) but when I pointed this out to them, they did a couple of days of heavy rubbing/massage on where they said that the healing had built up scar tissue, and it made a world of difference. | details |
| capt'n smythie | 43 days | details | |
| jono | 43 days | details | |
| D.Keyser | 44 days | Lost concentration on a course and twisted it. Should have seen a doctor, still feel like there might be a bone chip. | details |
| fazza | 45 days | more careful strapping required, care kicking footballs. | details |
| Clara | 49 days | Rested and avoided cross country running when I started again | details |
| Tyson | 49 days | Well it has taken a while to get to this stage, and there is still further Re-Hab to go, but since it really was not a concern tofay on the run and the swelling and general pain is gone i consider this ankle somewhat recovered. Still have exxcercises and physio visits to go but all in all it is feeling pretty good. Pity though, i can no longer use this as an excuse! | details |
| KingTim | 49 days | Still not 100%; still can't bend it totally in the direction I went over on it. But got through the whole JK with nothing worse than a few rolls on it so I think it's time to declare it better. | details |

| distracted | 70 days | Still doing ankle exercises (wobble board) and stretching/strengthening, and taping when running. Occasionally stiffens up a bit but no real need to loosen it up before running any more - it feels fine straight away. Has just made me a bit hesitant whenever the terrain gets a bit uneven... | details |
| bubi | 76 days | I still feel it (mostly in the morning), but it is much better and does not bother me at all when running. | details |
| speedy | 80 days | OK, since I stopped taping ankle and it's almost recovered, I'm going to close that injury. But I have to be a little bit more careful at the upcoming O-events anyway. | details |

| cporter | 84 days | details | |
| Jagge | 93 days | details | |
| hkleaf | 93 days | Not playing soccer seems to help quicken the recovery. The diagnosis is still unclear. The pain feels similar to a sprain ankle, but symptoms are slightly different. | details |

| andronkuls | 100 days | details | |
| jfredrickson | 101 days | 2 weeks on crutches and a total of 6 weeks with no running. Still stiff but seems OK while running and is alright in the woods as long as it's taped well. | details |

| mbading | 118 days | My PT Lynn Johnson popped my Talas bone back in place on Feb 2nd and for the last 8 days my ankle feels much better. He says that it's common for the bone to get misplaced and not be treated. If you have this in the future look for a PT that will manipulate the ankle (like a chiropractor). It only took two session at less than 15 minutes each to feel much less pain. I had ASTYM physical therapy to help with the nerve damage pain, an ankle brace from my doctor, but Johnson's adjustment w... | details |

| Hanabanana | 172 days | details | |
| Samantha | 175 days | Time has helped me recover really. I did ankle exercises, and still am, but probably not as much as I should. I am still tryign to go to physical therapy to really heal it up, but aI can run a whole o course with no pain - so I'm counting it as healed enough!! | details |

| leo | 290 days | Turned out to be a season ending injury. (occured at first meet of the year). Was able to run on it 2 weeks after injury, however discomfort continued. Took 8 months off from running. Now seems to be O.K. However, I am being careful not to re-injure it. | details |
| kawax | 335 days | It has recovered without bruising for a couple of months, but I still need to be careful how I position my ankle while sitting and stretching, etc. | details |
