It wasn't moto related I swear!
It's been close to two weeks since I hopped out of the motorhome, right foot first, into a small hole. I remember hearing 3 distinct pops as I hit the ground, along with a few choice syllables. It was about an hour before I sat down and propped it up, all the time it was hurting pretty badly. 30 minutes later I found myself crawling down the hall to get in bed. After a couple of hours of tossing and moaning I got up and put some sports rub stuff on it and wrapped it tightly with an ace bandage and popped a couple of Tylenol. An hour later I took the bandage off cause it was too tight. I was able to stand the next morning but it sure did hurt. The following days my walking improved but the pain is still there, especially after I stand on it for a while. There is no comfortable position when it starts hurting.
It never really became swollen or bruised and it's not my ankle. The pain seems to be about an inch below the ankle joint. I've been riding twice since my injury and other than being a little tender, my boots seem to provide adequate support though I pay for it the next day. Also if I step on anything in the arch of my foot, without good support, the pain is fierce. I was just curious if I could have fractured or broken a bone in my foot.
btw, outside of right foot about an inch below the ankle .
