12:35 EST - I have applied the ActivOn to where it hurts

[underpants]

My left foot

Ankle to be precise

I totally wiped out on my run this morning. Headlights from an SUV blinded me and I moved to my left to get off the road (neighborhood road-I overreacted) next thing I know I feel my ankle rolling over on the edge of the road and down I went. Skinned up my knee bad too but my ankle just started killing me at about 9 AM. Yes they did stop to see if I was all right and Yes I did finish the last mile or so of the run.

Wow 3 minutes in I can feel much less pain.

1. Sorry about your ankle, underpants...

I've had that happen, it sucks bigtime.
Glad to hear the ActivOn is working though. I use the HeadOn all the time, it's great.

:hug: for your ankle.

2. Ouch!

Glad it wasn't anything more serious. And, in my opinion, you can't be too careful when avoiding an SUV while jogging. :hug:

3. I have no idea why I did that

Cars go by all the time-well not really I might see one car every other day given that I run at 5 AM- but this one stupid time I screwed up.

This is my one great downfall of losing weight- I loose my balance completely. Way back in the day when I was in really great shape I was know to trip and fall over walking across the living room. Seriously.

4. I once tripped in front of some of my husband's relatives...

...just walking down a cobblestone road (it was in Germany). Since I used to be a downhill skier, I knew how to tuck and roll, and did just that (rather than risk a head injury). It was terribly embarassing. One of his cousins exclaimed, "YOU LOOKED LIKE A STUNT WOMAN!"
Luckily, I escaped with only a bruised ego..and hip. That was 10 years ago, and to this day I walk very slowly and very carefully on any uneven surface.

5. ONE HOUR LATER-working pretty well

I have to say that most of the pain is gone (still hurts a bit). I see now that I bought the arthritis stuff :shrug: oh well it works.

My ankle is popping and cracking now which is usually a good sign.

[Haole Girl]

9. Are you sure that's a good sign?

Doesn't sound good to me! :shrug:

[underpants]

10. Historically yes

if I can move it enough to hear popping and cracky (it always does that) then I have at least more movement than I did have.

6. I need that for my butt cheeks!

Sitting on a hard seat for 3-4 hours in my night classes is killing me!

Just gonna let that one pass

7. I broke my ankle slipping off a wooden clog when I was in college

I am the ultimate klutz. And now I have a balance order to make it worse; my left inner ear was removed 16 years ago. One balance nerve has to do the job for two.

On the other hand, I can be very entertaining. Especially when I walk into the wall. So there's a silver lining :rofl:

12. I was wearing a pair of cloggish type shoes last night and slipped off one of them

I was also leading a meeting as the new Chair of my local Democratic Party, so needless to say I was less than thrilled at how my first meeting went.

11. Apply directly to the underpants.
