    I've rolled my ankle and been fine the next day and I've also rolled my ankle and popped a chunk of bone off my Fibula which took a few weeks to heal.

    RICE and fingers crossed you've got a mild one.

  • Thanks both, I’ve rolled it so many times before but I’ve never relied on running so much for mental health so a few weeks/ month off hasn’t really bothered me. Resting up with plenty of ice tonight, it has stiffened up nicely already.

    It didn’t floor me this time so assuming my body wasn’t that desperate to stop myself breaking my ankle.

    Can totally relate to this. Its temporary. You could be fine in a day or two. I really hope it is.

  • Ooh, heal up! I've not rolled my ankle for a while but seemed to do every now and then in the past, maybe it's strengthened through all the running. What I do remember is the ankle being weak and easier to re-roll as it were, during recovery. So I would recommend that when you do feel OK to return to running, start out on level, predictable surfaces as much as possible. I think this is one instance where the advice to run on tarmac rather than off-road is actually of benefit, at least till you feel confident it's fully recovered.
