Not sure what to think

Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation... thanks to the application of a regular Ace Bandage, by foot is feeling 89% better and I am fully confident that I'll be able to do The Convention without crutches or the silly prescription medically fitted "Western Walker" boot. I'm hobbling around the house just fine. Not at 100% or anything - still hurts enough to keep me looking for a chair every 20 feet or so - but definitely feeling well enough to wonder if my doctor is getting some sort of kick-back from the only place in the State that sells those Western Walker Medical Boots.

As a multiple-time injury case, the most recent requiring Physical Therapy for 2 months after the fact...

..Get the boot. Or at the very least one of those ankle-brace things that straps on. Believe me. You'll want the extra support.

Its been 2 years since my most recent injury & I still highly value my lace-up ankle boots because of the extra support they provide...

I enjoy having strange wimmin on the internet suggest that i get a strap-on. It gives me a boner.

Yeesh, is that all you talk about? ;)

About the boot: I say wear it. Pressure + Time= Painage, you matter if your ankle feels fine (or close to it) when you're on it for a short time.

What can i say? I love using the word "Boner"! Use of the word "Boner" sharply decreases at about age 12. I've decided to bring up my average in my later years.

My 2 cents

true... I agree with her advice, after having the same injury and reinjuring it many more times only because it was weak, The lace-up boot thingy is definately worth the money, and if you at least stay off it for now (like you are told) *points shamefull finger* you should be able to at least hold your foot stiff and hobble your way around the convention.
so to recap...
stiff + strap on + convention = how can you go wrong with that combination?
