If its from your knee to your foot, that is probably why it shouldn't
be wrapped. If it doesn't get better in a week or so please get
an xray.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

he said not to wrap it because it is not swollen. i will go in three weeks if doesn't ease.

Awe, I wrap or brace it because it hurts to walk on it. And then when
I do that it helps my walking.

I do so because it helps my walking and pain.

marci just said her friend's insurance lapsed and he was billed 5000 dollars for the ambulance. i am not going to a doctor.
i just used aaron's advice and put a sock full of heated rice on my bruise and it felt so much better.it is just a bad bruise,.my ankle isn't turning.
marci saw pudge eat a lot and drank. so relieved.

Bobby

You can use the rice in the sock every 20 minutes on and 20 off.

For a while. Then take it off for a while. And use again.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Lara, that sounds like good advice.
Bobby, do you have an elastic band? could you get one?
Is there a pharmacy that you use to order one?
Where is the bruise? I must not have read enough.
I am sorry you are having all of these health issues.The reason I suggested

a brace is because you said your ankle was twisting on you.
love bizi

aaron didn't say that. he is so smart i only listen to him.

the ankle still hurts but isn't twistiing now. the p.t. was optimistic. i had bought wife elastic bans but he said no.
i am not having all these health issues. i am terrified of the scale. i have been so anxious i think that is why i am eating so much.
love,
bobby

james answered me that wrote A little compression is fine! Wouldn’t hurt!

Bobby

I told you about the 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. Its more
for ice I am sorry. I forgot that. But they told me in PT to do it
for both Ice and heat. Just so that it would not be on the
heat part to long. But I would say to put the heat on longer
so you don't have to warm it up again.

I'm sorry I wasn't remembering this is heat not Cold, its cold that
you have to worry about it staying on to long.

I like heating pads, I hate ice.but they say that after an injury you should ice the body part for the first 3 days. I just hate being cold so I never ice up like I should.
For example my knees are hurting when I get down on my knees for work.
I think they are getting better but are still painful. It is on the bottom thigh next to the knee.I don't know what I did to it. Just one day I could hardley bend down to put my knee on the floor.
