With 6 days to go you sprain your f@cking ankle playing footy!!!!!

Anybody experience skiing with a similar injury? If my boots are really really tight will I get away with it? Not as bad a sprain as I've had previously but pretty swollen and pretty bruised.

Giving it the RICE treatment so hopefully I'll be ok.......

Generally not good though.

Deepest sympathy.

Golden rule of ski holidays - dont do anything phtsical within 2 weeks of departure.

Yep, exactly the same injury. However, did plenty of the RICE treatment - as well as Ibuprofen to get swelling down - and once I had a ski boot on, I didn't even know I had the injury. In fact, I reckon it healed better during a week skiing than if I'd have been walking around at work on it.

Way better than getting a knee injury just before skiing. The boot acts like a cast on the ankle, but a knee......!

Get the swelling down and go for it.

Ankle is healing really well, walking painlessly after a day! Can't believe it, ice and support really work! Anyway, just thought I'd take the opportunity to let you all know that I'm packing right now and going on Saturday! And by the looks of the forecast, we're in for a fresh dump!! Don't be too jealous! ;)
