My Ankle
Today morning around 5:30AM when running with Geo, I tripped and fell on the ground scrapping my left leg and getting a slight cut on my left hand. I came back home, washed up and went back to sleep. I woke up again at 8AM to get ready for work when I realized my right ankle was killing me. I think i sprained my ankle and now I can barely walk or use the gas pedal in my car. I am actually driving with my left leg on the brakes while the right one on the gas pedal since it hurts less this way. Going to use Google Health to try and find out what I need to do to fix this shit.

Google Health to the rescue

Ice and some pain cream is enough, you do not need a hospital, you should be ok in a few days.

I am still not so sure about the google health thing. Move your ass to the nearest private hospital just to be sure.

nah… just start to worry if it goes black. There’s a dog who can find cancer by sniffing someone… maybe you can teach Geo to sense internal bleeding! :P woof.

jesus christ kuwaitis are so obsessed with hospitals and doctors and shit. as if it even does them any good, they are all really unhealthy. go to the gym instead of the doctor.
you don’t need to go to the doctor if you sprain your ankle or get a cold. grow the fuck up and don’t be such a scared pussy. let your body fight it off instead of taking antibiotics which only make your body weaker in the long run.

mark, never underestimate what the simplest injury can do to u. go to a clinic and get checked. hell i thought i was ok when i had a little mishap, turned out to be a fucking splintered bone and i needed a minor operation to pull it out. go see a doctor …

Hope your alright, way to go Google Earth!

Mark, i had a nasty sprain once. running down a grassy hill, my foot went into a small hole, and i fell forward. So painful i almost puked.
Anyways, dont waste time checking google health. Go see your doctor.. Then put the medicated ointment prescribed to you, and wrap your ankle with the stretchy wrap, and place ice packs on it.
Also, NEVER sleep with your ankle below hip level. Keep you anklle propped up, so it doesn’t get bloated with fluid. This will all help the swelling go down.
It will take a few weeks for it to heal.
Do not walk on your ankle.

16. Moe | May 20th, 2006 at 10:16 pm
Holla, you appear to have a deep hate for all things and people Kuwaiti. Have you ever thought of maybe moving somewhere else?

I’m just not sure why I said google earth up there.
19. Carlsb3rg | May 20th, 2006 at 11:04 pm
naaaah. Mark you should go to the doctor only when it’s start to smell bad ;p
20. mishref | May 20th, 2006 at 11:08 pm
Maybe I am a bit obsessed after what I see everyday at the hospital and wondering why these people didn’t come to the hospital at the beginning of the problem. But of-course I am not telling you to go to the A/E, at least see your local GP.

….21….!
22. Pearls | May 21st, 2006 at 1:37 am
Mark will know what to do if the pain persists. Anyhow I don’t see anything wrong with checking online to see what to do before going to the hospital because there are more serious injuries that need immediate action more than a sprained ankle like fractures, burns, heart failure, and food poisoning, etc. In a way, it won’t waste anybody’s time.
23. Pearls | May 21st, 2006 at 1:42 am
oo btw, salamat but if it gets so swollen then it’s time you have it checked.
24. coquine | May 21st, 2006 at 8:13 am
It’s true it’s not dramatic but if it hurt that much when you got up then you should get an xray to rule out fractures otherwise it might not heal well.
Plus ice it as much as you can the 1st few days and really, speaking from experince, avoid walking on it and if you have to, then use crutches - it will heal much faster/better.
25. Mark | May 21st, 2006 at 8:57 am
it was a bit swollen last night, i put some ice on it and then went to sleep like 10. woke up today my ankle feeling a lot better. doesnt hurt as much when i walk but still going to be stepping on it lightly just to be safe.

28. Dudester | May 21st, 2006 at 1:18 pm
Dude, you need a doc to check ur hoofs out. Trust me, no point in taking chances (especially after watching HOUSE M.D.).
Holla - that’s pretty funny!
29. Mark | May 21st, 2006 at 2:08 pm
my ankle feels fine now, maybe if it turns black and falls off will then seek proffesional medical advice.
