It still hurts . . .

I was complaining about the hassle, that's all and hoping the ankle would have healed by now, on its own - not money.

And thanks for that bit about not sleeping while having it wrapped. I was going to wrap it tonight before I went to bed. But curious - why is it a bad idea to sleep with the ankle wrapped?

Pick someone smaller next time.

Wrap it around your neck.

Loss of blood to major bodily component + hours of time= bad

EDIT: Being at rest the blood isn't pumped as strongly as when awake, so there's a good chance the cells can die from lack of oxygen. At the same time the rest of your body will have more blood coursing thru it than normal which, IIRC, can lead to high blood pressure related problems (e.g. higher risk of stroke).

I learned something new tonight. Thank you, Dancing Tiger.

Just imagine what you could learn from an actual visit to the doctor. You probably wouldn't feel as much like a caveman.

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

That's not a good plan really. Hiding the pain doesn't mean the injury is healed. The inflammation is there for a reason.
