Haha the patient's hand signals made me laugh :)

[Cuffy6]

Your hot:) and my ankle feels better:)

[Nerdhot]

Thanks for having this, I removed the wrap the dr made, for sleeping and I had no idea how to re-wrap it XD

[raymanlegy]

my foot is swollen like a football :( Brusing on both sides of my ankle and it's starting to bruise on the top of my foot. Well it's not brusing it's more like blood pooling. Rolled my ankle playing squash in the worst way ever... Jumped up really high to get the ball landed on my ankle and i weigh like 200 pounds.

[HeldbyGravity]

I still couldn't do it. This is why I will never be a doctor- can't even do it on myself, ha.

[raymanlegy]

@HeldbyGravity lol. I got it first try. Wrap it around your foot 3 times then wrap around ankle going to one side of the foot back through the other side and back to the ankle and then so on. figure 8 formation

[HeldbyGravity]

@raymanlegy Thank you! :) I actually eventually figured it out. I'm the kind of person that if I don't see exactly what's going on, I can't really get the picture XD. People try to explain things to me and I get that, "What, are you dense?" look throw my way. This is a fairly clear explanation though, might have helped out :P. Thanks again.

[michaelhellsinq]

She does it wrong... what i have learnd is that when rolling the bandage you have to rol it that you can see the inside of the rol.

Is it a good idea to spray pain relievers and then wrap over it ? or should we wait till the spray has dried ?

[darkc44]

[TheOrchid999]

Excuse me, I need to tell you that incorrect when you hold elastic bandage during wrapping. You know!

[matt56037]

Hahahaha I love the hand gestures.

[commandershadebetter]

Is there a "How to auscultate" video? I would love to see some stething.

[bernardolea]

can i use elastic bandage??

[dbrooks12009]

ohyee23, you may want to find another activity besides swimming for a few weeks.

[dbrooks12009]

No. You cannot swim with an ace bandage. If it stays on in water, it can cause skin breakdown to the skin underneath the bandage, because wet bandages cause too much skin moisture to occur. With increased skin moisture covered by wet bandages, the skin will become light, soft, mushy, and peel easily (called maceration) and will start to break down and leave open soars. With an area of injury (sprain), a break in the skin is high risk for skin infection. Skin MRSA can occur.

[ohyee23]

Hey can you swim with an ace bandage? or will it unwrap it

[Theotherkiid]

Thankyou you helped me learn how to wrap my sprained ankle by myself
