My leg still hurts

I have promised myself I will only take advil and tylenol, and they're not getting teh job done at all.

I can hardly walk. :(

1. Hope you get better.

Leg injuries suck - I've been there.

I've been nursing a sprained ankle myself (the ankle's also part of a residual club foot,) and I get the feeling it's more serious than a mere sprain - possibly a messed up tendon. It's been hurting for quite a while, but at a low level, so I've ignored it. Then I went on a hike the Saturday before last, and I rolled my ankle a couple dozen times. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow....

I walked on it today, and it's flaring up to the point where it hurts every step. At least I can still walk, but I'm tired of it hurting all the time.

Talked to the doctor, he said yep, it's sprained, told me to wear an ankle support, referred me to a podiatrist, who I'll see on Tuesday. The way my luck's been going lately, he'll want to put me in a cast, on crutches, and want to operate...

3. Thanks.

Hopefully my foot and ankle aren't too seriously messed up, but who knows. I've been walking on that foot for quite a while with low-to-moderate pain, so I'm afraid I may have done some significant damage to the ankle ligaments or the peroneal tendons.
