my heart hurt a little bit when I read your post — I twisted my ankle in October 2022 and it still isn't fully recovered
I've been to the doctor lots and am in physical therapy rehab because of it
MY BIG MISTAKE: Running too soon after hurting it. It was not worth it!!! I gave it a week and then went for a run.
As much as possible stay off it and rest until no longer hurting.
I sprained my ankle where it swole to a tennis ball size and it was sore like you were saying for about 2 weeks and didn't feel 100% until about 2 months after. Sucks.
In 2017, I took a spill while on a run. I stuck my hands out to catch myself but was moving so quickly that I just scraped my whole body across the pavement — face first. I still have a scar on my upper lip from where the concrete scraped me.
I was in shock and happy I still had my teeth. I had also just started a new job, so I was between insurances and without dental, so I’m glad I didn’t really mess myself up. Instead of going to a doctor, I went out for drinks with a friend lol.
to think that when i was a kid i was falling over, skinning my knees, getting scratches, and bruises EVERY DAY while running around... falling down was so normal i just got straight back up and didn't even think about it.
my 26 year old decrepit ass fell down yesterday and i was in shock for hours after...
this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing
