Combine both and it was painful as hell, especially anytime I moved it, tried to put pressure on it, etc. I had 6 weeks of PT at the end because the swelling wasn't going down completely even after weeks of being on an anti-imflamatory, which was alot of the reason it took so long to heal.

oh god i hope not. i think they said that this sprain could take anywhere from 3-6 weeks to heal and knowing me that means about 10 days. but i'll wait to see what the doc says

Rub some dirt in it to speed things up.

How's the swelling? That plays a big part in how quickly it heals. And don't let them have you in that splint for long either. You have to work and exercise that foot too, to keep it from stiffening up. It will probably be a little painful, but it won't be nothing like the pain you'll feel if you DON'T do something with it.

That can't be good. Did you try the dirt?

How is the pain holding out now?

Numbness & more swelling? Sounds like the splint is on too tight. Maybe Tom will chime in & suggest something.
