Thanks! I got it playing soccer. We were short a person that day and we didn't want to forfeit (you get -1 point for that). We are the oldest team and have the most members so we usually have many more subs than most, so it was a big change. I ended up playing basically the entire game (had 1 more guy come in at half time, but we all needed some rest so we still played 4 v 5 on a half-size pitch). At the end of the game, I was rushing toward the goal, but the opponent got to it first so in an attempt not to run into the goal I was trying to slow down. I guess I was too tired, I kind of just relaxed my legs which caused me to slide, and the field condition sucked with high grass and uneven ground so my right leg got caught under my body. It swelled up big time immediately and I knew it was a serious injury right away.How did you manage to get that fracture? (Weber B ankle fracture)
I'm not an orthopaedic surgeon but I found this patient info sheet online.
All the best with your recovery!
I shoulda been in a boot and used crutches immediately like that article said, but I was back to work 3 days later with a cane, trying to just walk it off lol.
