Lou-Li-Ro`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll I know I keep asking question unrelated to preg or babies but I sprained/strained my ankle a few days ago while running. I didn`t go over on it so I don`t know how it happened. Anyway it is still really bothering me and is sore to walk on. It feels bruised to touch the ankle area, and the feeling of pain goes on up into my leg, the calf etc. I can`t stay off it because I have 2 toddlers to look after all day, so what can I do to help it heal? I got up this morning and thought it was slightly better for the first few steps, but then it started throbbing again. How long is it likely to be like this? Thanks for any replies!

Thank you very much! I will take your advice! Am trying to stay off it as much as possible but it`s hard with two almost-2-year-olds! Who love a lot of activity! I hobble around after them, shouting! haha! Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply to me everyone!

Oh yes we have Deep Heat here in Ireland too I will try that too thank you! I am so annoyed at myself; I should have been doing warming-up stretching and cooling-down after too... But of course I was too eager and ignorant!

I am prone to sprained and twisted ankles, i have very weak ankles and i just have to stand up and but my foot down the wrong way for it to twist... Make sure you strap it in a bandage, and ice it when ever you can, keep it up when your sitting down... Also you can get some heating cream or even a cooling cream, we call it deep heat here in Australia, and if you rub it in it helps with the pain...

Thanks Ella! yep she`s recovered fine but now Stephen has it so he`s in bed!!! Argh, he was sick all day yesterday and all night. Seems much better now and is asking for food! Should I give him some?! I think he should stay off it for the day but he is bent on eating! How are you and how`s little Aydah? xx

Have you tried strapping it up in one of those magnetic wraps? You can get them at the chemist. Perhaps an insole might help cushion it too? Hope you feel better soon :) Is Liadan after recovering?

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
