Hope yours isn't too bad & didn't tear shit up like mine.

See, that is worthy of posting an Ow thread.

Don't feel bad - I did something way more stupid than running up the stairs w/ a sleepy leg. All the crazy shit (2-wheeled & otherwise) I've gotten away with scott-free, and I let laziness by not locking the casters of a rolling scaffold bite me in the ass hard. I would have taken a broken ankle over that in a heartbeat!

As long as you didn't feel/hear any big pops, it shouldn't be too bad. Like others said - ICE it (or better yet, bag of frozen peas/corn) + compression. Hope it heals quick, and don't push it too hard.

Yeah, that was hot, wasn't it?

C'mon Paul - now you have to post a pic so we can make fun of you if there's nothing showing!

Yup - in a OhGodThisIsWhatShockFeelsLikeIThinkImGonnaPuke kind of way! Heard a pop, looked down, saw my foot pointed nearly 90° sideways, and a wave of nausea rolled in along with the sinking 'Oh Shit this is really not good' feeling.

Sorry to bastardize your thread Paul, but hopefully it makes you feel a little better by way of comparison!
