It still hurts . . .

[MrFun]

My left ankle seems to have a minor sprain and I don't even remember where and when I had sprained it.

I thought I could just see if it heals on its own, without having to go to a doctor because the pain is very minor. I think I've had this for a couple weeks now?

So do I go to a general physician for a sprained ankle, or do I see a specialist (and what specialist would that be)?

[Tattila the Hun]

Gynegologist, you *****. Pain, shmain. (Pussycat? OK, ***** is cencored, good to know.)

I'd go to a general doctor, see what he says. If he, expert of medicine, says you need to see a specialist, then go see a specialist. We're just bunch of nerds, what do we know.

I'm not sure if there even is a foot doctor... Pediatrician is one for kids, even though it sounds like pedestrian. Or pedal. You know, bi-pedal.

Why is there a word like infant, and infantry? I wonder...

Ligaments take time to heal. Take ibuprofen regularly for a few days, even if the pain seems to have gone.

Well executed.

Do you have health insurance Mr. Fun or will you be required to sell a kidney to finance a visit to the specialist?

But I'm one of those weird people who uses both feet to walk on.

Will the ligmaments still heal if I walk as usual? That's what I have been doing, just walking almost as usual.


Wezil - yeah, I have good health insurance so money won't be a problem.

I'm not like Pekka - I'm not macho/tough enough, okay?

Think about the kittens.

I've sprained my right ankle about 5 times, doc always said to buy a brace and wear it until the pain goes away.

[Japher]

get an ace bandage and wrap your foot until it starts feeling better
also, wear boots or shoes with good ankle support

[Wezil]

Amputate the leg. It's the only way to be sure.

Why not ask your girlfriend for advice on personal health stuff like this?

This, and the wrap/brace suggestion. Also man up.

They should do. If they don't, it's not a sprain.
