Gone and broken my ankle ... sigh.

What's Hot

edited January 2017 in Off Topic tFB Trader
went over on it playing 5-a-side last night. Heard a loud crack, couldn't put much weight on it. Thought I'd just torn a tendon. Went to A&E this morning, nice zig zag break across the bottom of my Fibula. 

Sat at at home now with my leg elevated, frustrated that everything takes so much effort! Making a coffee was an ordeal. 

Still, got to 35 without a break so far, can't complain too much!

    Top tip;

    Eat nowt but Salmon, Spinach and greek Yog until out of break heal.

    The calcium and potassium will take 35% off your healing and callous growth time.

    THis info was given to me by Matt Lovell, the England Rugby doctor and it works, believe me! I took 8 weeks off a compund arm break recovery just by sticking to that diet.

    Oh and coffee- not good. No diuretic is as you need to hydrate. Green tea excellent.

    Ouch!

    At least it's an excuse to put your feet up for a few weeks.

    Should I tempt fate and say at 46 I'm yet to break a bone?  :#

    I don't have a limb I haven't broken!

    Worst is my fretting hand pinky. I cannot really use it and I have always struggled with boogie stuff because of it. Some twat stamped on my hand at Glamorgan Wanderers and shattered it.

    I can only assume it was cos I slated Max Boyce on TGP.

    Fair point! Although I have to sit on the couch with my foot elevated for as long as possible today. Been here 30 mins and already bored out of my mind. Time to download some games for the laptop ...

    Well obviously. I find it loses it's appeal after the 5th time in one day though ...

    Bad luck, find a good book!

    I did my Achilles 18 months ago and still waiting for an operation! Wish I'd broke a bone instead! At least it will heal in 6 weeks.

    Yeah I've heard breaking a bone is better than a tendon:)

    Tendons have no blood supply. Nothing to heal, that's why.

    You're probably not doing it right then.

    Red ones are better.

    Gassage diet advice good but take COMFREY ( health food shop )
    If you google this ancient herb it was known as Boneknit until the  20 th century
    Used by Monks for 2000 years and discovered by Romans as the fastrack to getting Gladiators back into the Arena
     .........For those about to take Comfrey supplements .....We salute you
