Ugh, it finally happened

[kriadydragon]

I took a spill down the stairs. Thankfully it was a slide and not a tumble (yay for quick reflexes!) But my right foot took the brunt. I can still walk on it, but bend it the wrong way and it hurts. I'm pretty sure it's sprained or something (and... what was it you do for sprains? Ice, elevate and a wrap?) and my tailbone aches :P

I always knew that one day those stairs would best me. Evil, evil stairs. Get 'em Obi-wan!

Eep! Now I'm wondering if I should go to the doctor :S I'm the type that if I can still function and I'm not at risk of bleeding out I let things resolve themselves. So I'm torn between waiting to see if it starts clearing up at all or getting it checked right away. I know it sounds kind of foolish not to go in but I don't have insurance so if I go it I want it to be fore something that needs treating, not to pay a ton of money to hear what I already know. It's quite the conundrum :/

Well, I'm the same way ... obviously. *g* I don't think it was a disastrous decision on my part not to get it looked at -- it did eventually heal, and my foot works fine (there is still a bit of weakness in that ankle compared to the other one, 6 years later, but it certainly doesn't inhibit me from doing anything I want to do). So I'd say that as long as it's not, say, swelling up horribly and preventing you from walking at all, there's no need to worry too much. (I give the worst medical advice ever, probably.)
