That ankle doesn't look to good!

Ah, damn. My bike fell over once, not while i was on it unluckly, my body may have saved the fairing scratches Let it on the driveway out of gear turned and walked away, just rolled off the god forsaken stand.


I can sympathise with the ankel, twised my left very badly last year playing badminton, was all good for a year, then did the right. Then did the left again 4 weeks later every time it ment at least 3 day without walking which was crud.
I use an ankel brace for the left getting one for the right foot too, i fear if i continue without it may mean surgery

No, no doctors yet.. Is on the cards if the swelling hasnt completely gone by friday. The bruising has subsided, can almost fully rotate my ankle and am back on the bike!!!

good signs but be careful.
Feet have lots of little bones that you can still walk on if they break - but they'll heal bad. Likewise the tendons/ligaments can heal bad if not seen too.
If you still have any pain or swelling at all by Friday see a doc.

I'm no medical professional, but I've had enough bike and karate injuries to push people towards medical advice.
Sometimes you can get away with leaving things alone - but I don't think you can after having had 100+kgs lying on your foot

I didnt bust my right foot with the bike.. see a few posts up with the images..

Ah sorry - basketball.
I skimmed and thought basketball was where the 2nd drop happened and landed on your foot.
That'll learn me to pay more attention.

Still - if it's not significantly better soon a check-up is best.
