torn ligament update -- more fun than i can stand

[extremesk8hype]

I tore the exact same ligament skating. Mine looked just as bad and probably felt just as bad so I understand what you went through haha. But how long did yours take to heal because it's been a month so far and i'm still not healed yet.

[erik3423]

@extremesk8hype Its been a year since I tore my ligament and it still hurts from time to time. Plus mine has a bunch of scar tissue and looks deformed now, when you tear a ligament the only way to fully heal is surgery.

[DanceLoveLily]

Omg it hurt to watch this :O how's ur ankle? I hope it's better cuz u don't wanna have to go through what I'm goin through. I tore a ligament right above my ankle an broke the hardest bone to break in ur body right near the ankle :( I have had a torn ligament for 17months now and it has not healed. I'm now in a walking cast too and if it don't heal by my next appoinment I gotta get surgery :( so I really hope urs is better now! :)

[1drumdude]

OH my lord, my foot looks exactly the same. How are you doing now?

[jessicafeldman0208]

Hi Katie i torn a ligament in my ankle when i was 14 and i had to have my ankle reconstructed last April but now its fully healed just take it easy and keep it elevated at all times and go and see a surgeon in the beginning i didnt think it was much and it got worse and worse i had a repair 3 casts on and an injection

but dont worry if you need to talk send me a message im a genius on the subject i suffered for 5 yrs with a torn ligament.

Take it easy

[TheRomanski5]

TheHawk545- im no doctor but im going through the same thing as you and I just had an MRI and i have a tore ligament in the ankle. I'd bet you have the same

[TheHawk545]

got a question if someone would answer it. monday i was sparring and i threw a leg kick and my friend backed up then my foot hit and knee and i heard something like a tear sound in my foot. well went to the ER that same day they said its not broken. doc said the bone was bruised really bad and could be a torn ligament. well im on crutches. i try to walk without them and when i try to put my foot straight it rolls on me or it turns left and it hurts hella bad =(. swelling got worse not went down

[erik3423]

@TheHawk545 I know this is late, but don't walk on it! I tore my ligament in football practice and I played through it all year, now my ankle is messed for life.

[DrClean23]

Did you get surgery?

[10thnametried]

that looks pretty bad its even made your toe nails turn all red too

[Havik714]

I got my foot like that but I don't know if my ligament is ripped??

[whitehawk38]

yours is 10 times worse then mine.i tore my ligament just above yours but it isn't black and blue

[vanofran]

im just tuning in, but y didnt u get surgery?

[GOTTshua]

I tore my ligament in my foot back in spetember and it is the worse. Sometimes I get shooting pains up my leg. You have a lot more bruising than I did. I HOPE YOUR FOOR IS BETTER NOW.

[titina1226]

@GOTTshua I toremy ligament and I also have shooting pains up my leg.. It's been almost three months and I can't run or wear heels.. How long did it took you to be able to run or jump on you foot?

[rodeeds]

sorry to hear about your torn ligament but you will heal and wont be a long term and permanent disability. be thankful you dont have fibromylagia where every muscle and tendon in your body is in pain, so bad you can hardly walk and are disabled. cheers

[timmy75ful]

SHE HOT

[wards89]

o wow im still recovering and also have the same marks god it hurts

[Cali7whitburn]

That really looks a sore one like. When I torn ligaments in my ankle it didn't look nowhere near that bad

[Cali7whitburn]

that is a sore one btw mine was nowhere near that bad

[syncronized716]

yea i torn my ligament too playing roller hockey got into a fight and he hit me with his stick and made me fall funny and it tore my ligament in my foot

[Narutojalisagirl14]

I just tore a ligament in my foot 5 days ago and sprained my foot really bad!!! But it doesnt look like that!!!! :( It hurts soooo bad!!!!! :(

[xoxoselena123100]

i have 3 torn ligaments nd i dont have tht but i am going 4 surgery on dec 20th !

[drunkirish87]

she is so dramatic. i cant believe she said i envy people in motorised wheelchairs and i have more compassion for da handicapped . she only tore ligaments, dis is my second time tear da ligaments in my ankle,get over it.

[MetatroN197924]

omg i hope you ok,i had injured my ankle and i has the same bruise up on my left like you but in the last days start to dissapear

[lynda816]

did you have to go to surgery for that? thats exactly what happen to me its been a week now the sweling went down but its purple just like that i cant stand on it and i was wondering if you had to go to surgery if u tore a ligament

[JOHNFORCENYC]

I had 2 huge blood blisters. so which ligament did you tear?. how was it treated?

[joemiste]

blood blisters?

[billyray10001]

f off

[billyray10001]

Ok, now it's 4 weeks, I can walk again. Still cannot run or put significant weight on it. Bruises are gone, but the area above the ligament is still swollen. Got rid of the air cast.

[jemb0dog]

I did the same injury 3 weeks ago - i know exactly how that pain feels.

[babysmuggler]

the other day i flew off a truck going 30 mph right on my foot, and i threw up/passed out from the pain. 3 days later i walked out of bed. i can't be broken

[billyray10001]

One generic comment though: You can do something (RICE) but the bottomline really is: Suck it up and wait 2-6 weeks depending on the grade. The key is that you do not twist it again within the healing period and that you do not overburden your foot (even though you might not feel pain). Also watch out for your other foot, since it needs carry all that weight.

[billyray10001]

You can wear a sock under the aircast. I would not recommend it in the first week though. You will get small bruises from the aircast, but who care ..your foot is full of bruises anyways.

[billyray10001]

Update on mine: The diagnosis on mine was just an ankle sprain (grade 2). Walking brace (aircast) for 4 weeks. One interesting fact is that the later the bruises show, the minor the injury is. In case of torn ligaments the bruises supposed to show immediately. The position of the bruises don't neccessarily indicated where the injury is, since blood is flowing around in your foot.

Yours: I asume in your case you took xRays (showing your broken ankle) and are wearing a walking boots right now ?

[DAFS201]

i tore all of mine on my right ankle and broke my left

[billyray10001]

Hi, I have the exact same issue, happend last Saturday. I am using an aircast right now (4 days later) and following the RICE rule. What is the exact diagnosis on it ? Do I need surgery, how long will take to heal ?

[2oconnollyo6]

yep its sore alrite ! i had this injury almost 2 years ago and its never fully healed. When i play sport now i always wear an ankle support because without it my ankle twinges like hell ! very painfull injury your better off breaking your ankle.

[titans90k]

had this injury 3 months ago. but mine is a lot worse. still hurts

[jasperhopkins]

wow, that sucks

[0101010101010101ful]

wow,that makes me feel beter about my injuy,but then again it was a grade 2 sprain,it still hurts 2 weaks later but nothing like yours!

[thepharmacistand1]

@0101010101010101ful how do you know if its a grade 2 sprain..if i have less bruising then her them its probably grade 2 since torn ligaments hurt much more?

[87lapd]

hahahaha me too i tore 3 but i have straws to suck it up u guys need one i have color ful straws lol

[broommouse]

God, I just tore all three of them. this sucks.

[rs3Pownage]

That looks nasty. Take care, hope its healed over well by now for you.

[BlackHorse92]

omg that looks exactly like mine =O

poor girl. I feel so sad for your injury. I have torn ligaments also & cannot walk for 4 weeks:( & now must go to Europe for work: perfect timing! :D

[ddilo21]

when the colors stand out more that means the healing process has begun...

[maranelloo18]

I torn my leg's ligaments by wrecking my motorbike just a week ago... check my last video if you wanna see the crash :S that hurts, and when I go to bed it's even worse! it seems like if i had a rusted nail hammered in my f*king leg ;(

[oceanislove]

dont worry, i just tore mine in basketball!

[YOUBETCHA21]

Basketball can kill ya.. tore a ligament a couple nights ago... hey ask your doctor for leches... those little buggers work wonders

[Jose10R]

Well guys today I just tore 3 ligaments in my ankle and it hurts so I look forward to not walking for like a 2 months this is going to suck.

[CBare2]

I broke my navicular bone (left foot) Feb 1 2009. xrays only show broken bones. I am now (Nov 09) looking at 12 weeks of physio, orhotics and an MRI because the torn ligaments were not diagnosed back in February... This sux..... I envy people with both feet that work.

[oreilly335]

I just fractured one side of my ankle,broke off a piece of my growth plate,broke the other side of it,and tore the ligament.All in one fluent motion playing basketball..Im out for 3 weeks...

[vibeackermann]

my foot was fucked when i torn mine. i tore both my ligaments in half down both sides of my ankles. i had elephantites in my foot and it was swollen. i still have severe scare tissue.

[Craig1168]

Tore all the ligaments off the bone in 1987 playing tackle football. I just rolled my ankle over walking up my driveway and heard that devestating crunch and pop. I went to my orthopod and he confirmed what I knew I blew out the graft. So yea stoned on pain meds and totally frustrated.

[Sperrazzajel]

ever since yesterday my foot's lookng a lot like yours. not as bruised but it might show up eventually. i cannot put full weight on it at all... i went and got x-rays at a walkin clinic that i do not think they a very good job assessing my ankle and no matter if it gets slightly bumbed or a twitch my muscles in my foot it hurts like a mo fo as you put it. i'm on crutches, they wrapped it with an ACE and gave me an air cast. hope your ankle gets better.

[Sperrazzajel]

i hear you girl. this past weekend while i was at work, i went on break to go to the store next door where i work (there's a little hill that separates the two stores). When i can back down the hill i fell fowards a bit and so i lost my balance and just as i reached the bottom of the hill my foot got caught on curb and then i leaned forwards more not micing my foot and when i did, replacing it on the ground it "twisted" and i could of sworn i heard or felt like a pop..

[cheers1905]

Oh yeah... the pop is traumatizing, i already had 6 ruptures, 3 in each foot... everytime you hear that pop, you know you're f**ked...

[GohanBurner]

I torn one of the ligaments in my right ankle, its painful to plant the foot and twist my leg to the right. The pain has gone down, but it still hurts. I just hope it heals fully soon...

[GenCollado]

holy motherfucker.

[thegunnerboy99]

i got a torn ligament and i had to miss my karate blet grading i was well angrey!

[yohy86]

the day before I left to africa, i tore a ligament in my foot. It's not as bad as yours though...In two weeks im going around europe to some festivals...oh god.

[chrissypooh2169]

oh god I remmember when I did mine I tore alot my whole foot and half way up to my knee it was bad bad bad and I remmember when it finaly got better I did it agian a few weeks later lol OUCH!

[Liskej953]

i tore ligaments playing basketball and my toes were completely purple including all the side of my foot. look at the ankle video on my channel and see how swollen it is. btw tearing ligaments hurts more than breaking your foot.

[DeezFunkyNutz]

i ripped 2 ligaments completley, and had to have 8 pins and a plate put in my leg after being hit by a car. it sucks

[78home78]

haha what a cunt that foot is fucked if i was you i get that cut of seriously thats jus wrong ...

[n00bsk8r]

alright.. so if it's a torn ligament, it would be looking like that?

[101Frenchkisses7]

Beacause blood vessels are torn and damaged so blood pools around the injury.

[Rreynaertt]

one question, how do you mannage??

[jaclynnnx0]

that is what my ankle looks like right now.

[lightpinktulips]

You should have rented a Turning Leg Caddy like my husband did for me. So much easier than crutches or a walker!

I too feel so much more compassion for the handicap than ever before.

[jakefria]

lol i broke my ankle and tore a few ligaments and fractured a few bones in my ankle and leg and i never got a cast no insurance blows plus i just walked on it. it still clicks but was a bad month.

[jpf8992]

i tore 3 ligaments in my ankle playing rugby, hurts like a 'mo fo' i'm in a cast and crutches too.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN

[anthony136]

[Liskej953]

[semt9]
