As far as I can remember, this has never happened to me, but to my mother and sisters…
I won/lost gene lotery. I can twist my ankle like that without permanent damage but I can’t lift more than 20kg in a squat.
I can also twist my ankles like that painlessly. But I can’t touch my toes with my finger tips without bending my knees at all, best I can do is like 10 inches away.
What even is “rolling your ankle”? I’m standing on one foot like the picture right now and it seems… fine?
Also lucky that girls never wear heels, that would make this much worse
Ouch
“Should I take my heels off?” “NOooOoo”
Goodness you can hear it snap
I have seen the aftermath from when someone rolled her foot in platform heels. (I was nearby, but didn’t see her foot go perpendicular to her leg like I heard about afterwards.) It was many years ago and I don’t think of it often, but I don’t recall ever buying any kind of platform shoe ever again after that.
Idk why, but I can stand with both feet like this for a long time. Maybe the sudden and quick rolling is what hurts.
But honestly, if there was a way to objectively measure pain, I’d like to compare it to a kick in the balls.
Boys get kicked in the balls every month, can confirm
Then stop doing it, it’s not nice.
What if the guys want it?
Used to know a guy that had like some weird fetish for that. Was drinking with him and a few friends and out of the blue he tells me to kick him in the balls. I refused, as did my girlfriend. He asked another girl we were drinking with to do it; she obliged. I swear he went into the fetal position before hitting the ground!
Somehow the funniest part is that this isn’t anywhere near as painful as a bad period, and the pain doesn’t last for days at a time either.
I rolled my foot and it created a compound fracture of that 5th metatarsal… since it still hurts in bad weather 30 years later, 5/7 would not recommend.
Oh, as a kid I was skiing with my dad, and saw the bottom side of a ski, was that good enough?
God I have rolled my ankle a shit ton doing physical activities and simply walking, to the point both feet have rolled several times, and to the point where I needed physical therapy. I am fucked on uneven terrain, and even when walking in my house on kitchen tiled floor I have rolled and tripped.
Physical therapy at least made it so it doesn’t hurt anymore when I roll, and I’m not out of commission for the next hour.
I’m not even of legal drinking age, I’ll probably die by falling down the stairs at 50 or smth.
Are you able to wear hi-top sneakers or boots? I used to roll my ankles a lot so I started wearing both and it happens less. When it does happen, it doesn’t hurt nearly as much
I walk like that sometimes…
Okay I’m going to put this out there. I’ve never birthed a child but I can be certain that the birthing process doesn’t hold a candle to the monkey claw I experience after eating a bean burrito loaded with jalapenos and mole. I don’t think even an epidural could ameliorate that level of dire suffering.
Had a subtallar dislocation almost 2 years ago so that was fun. 0/10 recommend sticking to periods. Proby.
you’re not really going to roll your ankles barefoot though, like there’s a reason our feet are wider than they’re tall
If periods are so terrible then why do women keep having them. Checkmate, liberals.
Yes. All of them should stop. It would solve everything.
I’m just one generation too
If they’re not so bad why don’t you have one.
C’mon chicken, show me the red. bawk Bawk bawwwwkkk
who says i don’t
I have and it has been hurting since February
Have you tried drowning your sorrows with a good pilsner?
If possible go have it looked at. I did this 4 years ago and it still hurts. Please don’t be me.
I once rolled my ankle but in the most perfect way in which instead of pain, it was the most pleasurable “bone popping” I’ve ever had in my life. All those tiny ankle bone just popped like satisfying bubble wrap that you just grabbed and popped a bunch, it was so satisfying I was dazed for like a solid minute or 2.
I have spent 15 years trying to do it again to no success :(
I’ve been blessed with an incredibly pop susceptible body. Ankles, toes, wrists, knuckles, neck, back, the odd elbow or knee pop here and there. My neck is so loud that I was watching Dune in IMAX with my boyfriend and he heard it over the subwoofers. It’s very satisfying.
Popping my sternum in public is the highlight of existing some days. It’s loud, and alarming.
I learned I could do it a decade back but it takes a super specific position that took me many more years to work out so I could do it on demand. Feels amazing.
My hyper-flexibility is probably to blame for it, but it’s super fun :)
I can do most things reliably except for the ankles, but I’ve long since lost my ability to easily do my back and neck
And it’ll happen to you to meme
Not only do I have an increased range of motion, but I (very recently learned) that an old injury is causing spinal stenosis – my spinal canal is narrowing due to bone overgrowth on my vertebrae. (Car accident. I was rear ended.)
About 20 years ago a chiropractor popped my neck by twisting it, and it so freaked him out that he leapt back from the table and did the heebie jeebie dance.
He told me to never let a chiropractor pop my neck by twisting it ever again.
Reasonably certain I could kill myself showing off doing yoga, like in that Dead Like Me episode.I used to force my neck, but I stopped doing that a while ago. In my 30s now so we’ll see how long it lasts. I can also pop my lower back by clenching my buttocks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m also a cracker in my 30s and still role the dice with neck cracks, but sometimes I chase the dragon too long and end up hurting myself :/
Ok that’s a new one, never heard of a butt clench back pop.
I can do pretty much every joint aside from hips and elbows. The loudest are my messed up shoulders from when I used to swim competitively. I’ve had multiple doctors tell me it’s the loudest shoulder pop they’ve ever heard.
