[QUOTE="srobertson06, post: 2135862, member: 169182"] Thank you everyone, I have been to the doctor who has said it is a sprain and that because I am in a seasonal job understands I cannot take time off and we are now close to the end of the season. To explain further I work 6 days a week around 50 hours, I strapped up the ankle to stop the swelling and to ease the pain, I have a fitness to work certificate now and my employers have placed me where I am able to sit during my working hours and I am so pleased as I am no longer in constant pain. Today is the first day I have come to work without the support on - so see how it goes - I do have it with me just in case. Yes a long road but that is mainly due to the amount of standing I was required to do at work - so it was not healing. I am doing around 15 mins of walking at the end of the day and I do feel it is helping, I am also doing some exercises to strengthen the ankle and I have gone from only being able to do a couple to being able to do all of them so it is coming on. I would swim but have no access to a pool. Thank you all once again. [/QUOTE]
