*sympathetic wince*

I'll be gimping about for a while. Maybe some alcohol (internal) in the near future.

Of course! Internal alcohol reduces the chances of infection caused by internal injury.

*hugs* Ice it down?

Up to doing some heat packs now. Most of the other pain has subsided now. But I'm thinking I did myself some tendon damage going down. Tore my jeans at the knee (opposite leg) when I went down too. Not a good way to start a 3-day weekend.

Meep. I hate when that happens, and I've done it to myself often enough.

NSAIDs, along with RICE.

You probably did something like strain the talofibular ligament (top front outside of the foot, attaches to the tibia)

Yup, sounds about right. Managed to smack my knee on the other leg going down too. Or, as we like to call it "Failed my DEX check".

I'm sorry to hear it. RICE, and hope it feels better soon!
