finding a simple to understand guideline about physical injuries you've never experienced is wonderful. This sprained ankle is the first one I've ever had, and I'm 23 years old as of a few weeks ago. I've definitely twisted my ankle a handful of times but never sprained it. It's also nice to find a guideline that doesn't condescend, since I had a feeling it would be like "why don't you know this already? clown" or whatever
A guide to how soon you can return to work after a sprained ankle including 4 key tips for a sprained ankle and a rough timeline for recover
I've got a pretty physical job - I work at Wal-Mart - so I'm on my feet pretty regularly. This lets me know I should take tomorrow off as well and basically take a three day weekend to ice my ankle and let it rest. I'll also be calling my HR manager to discuss returning to work and potentially getting a boot to easy the pressure when I do come back on Sunday.
That is to say, unless my ankle is able to take my weight again and my limp isn't so bad that it'll take me twice as long to get to the bus stop. I'll have a few hours before I would even need to catch my bus to discern this, so there's a little less stress there. Plus, all of my work stuff is already prepared from Thursday, so I won't need to worry about that.
Back to the guide itself, the website has a large selection of information for essential wellness, including but not limited to: how long certain injuries take to heal, what the best brace is for certain strains or sprains, the benefits of canes and massage guns (separate but similar page titles), and a wide selection of exercises that can be done seated, while injured, and more. it's very clearly written, reads in a calm and understanding tone, and has bold title headers (in most cases. One of the pages I opened had some very thin, poor-contrast headers that I barely noticed, and my eyesight isn't that bad with my glasses on.) I highly recommend this website for those of you with physical health questions pertaining to joints and minor injuries like sprains.
if anyone else has guides like this from other websites for other injuries, please share in the comments and reblogs! also, if you have deeper information on this website that can prove it would be better replaced with something different, absolutely share that!
