-

Whats the worst that can happen?
-

I use a Neoprene type ones. Don't buy cheap ones they are really rubbish and do help.
I'll look if I can find the name but most sports shops could help you out.
-
i want a better 1 then just a neoprien 1 as i shattered the ball of my ankle on the inside and broke the other 1 in half app
-
I cant remember who but they once had one that had some kinda framework in in it. It was expensive tho :S
If it comes to mind I will ask them :thumbs:
-
Unless you mean something hard a " Good " neoprien is what you need, believe me !?
I'll have to get a copy of my X-Rays something. My Achilles Heel was crushed I also broke most of the bones in the ankle. I use Neoprien surpports which also keeps warm.
Once your Doctor says you can Bock again the stilts makes a great surpport.

Ask BillC on PP, he knows about brace/supporty type things and where is best to get them :)
-
I remembered who had the ankle thing and it was for when he trained to run marathons ???
Something called aircast

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ACHILLE'S HEEL TO CRUSH!
There is the achille's tendon extending from the calcaneus to the calf muscle, but that would snap, not be crushed. And there are only 2 bones in the ankle, the talus and calcaneus. Before the talus is the tibia (lower leg/shin) and after it are the tarsals then metatarsals (parts of the toes)

Hi Greg
As you know I'm looking for the same type of thing these are the sites I've found so far
The Mueller Pro Style ATF Ankle Brace and the Aircast ones
But I like the McDavid Ankle X looks like its could stop a truck tipping over :haha: or the McDavid Ultra-Lite Ankle Brace is a bit lighter
http://www.physioroom.com/catalog/Ankle_Supports_Braces/2030.html
Also found these sites
http://www.firstaid4sport.co.uk/category.asp?cat_id=SUPPORT20&src=gosua&gclid=COOBi9P9x5YCFQ2Y1QodZSPmyg
http://www.lp-supports.com/products/ankle_and_shin_supports/

Good luck with the recovery mate

Oh joy, even when I'm taking a break and skimming the forums, I'm revising! I'm being tested on all this on Friday instead of getting wasted for my birthday (I'm not bitter)!

DK just got owned
I smashed my ankle 20 years ago I was a fitness teacher.
If you check I said " My achillies heel was crushed " which is an a area of leg and "I also broke most of the bones in the ankle".
Now who's owned !
-
Not me. Most means you broke one of the 2, and the achille's heel isn't an area of the leg. Or at least it isn't in scientific anat and phys, it might be in crazy fitness stuff.

It's like " The North " and " The South " on motorways, it's not real but everyone know where it is ?
-
wtf dk that makes no sense
-
wtf dk that makes no sense
I mean if you ask someone where the "achilles heel" is they'll point to the back of the heel
If you then ask them to point it out and medical picture they'll not find if !?

Hey man; I got one of these when I broke my ankle (or maybe it was a really bad spraign, if you trust the doctor..but I dont)...anyway...it is this thing:
http://www.braceshop.com/productcart/pc/DonJoy-MaxTrax-Air-Walking-Boot-10p870.htm (http://www.braceshop.com/productcart/pc/DonJoy-MaxTrax-Air-Walking-Boot-10p870.htm)
It helped me out a TON. I couldn't even stand up without being in tons of pain without it; but with it on I was walking up and down stairs with not so much as a hitch. :)
I highly reccomend one. If you are a bigger guy; I can sell you mine. I'm 6 feet even; 180lbs...shoe size 10. And mine fit me snug...I think its pretty much universal...I think they have Small, Medium, and Large. Mine is the large but its got adjustable straps on it that you can tighten a lot... If you want it; shoot me a pm I'll send it to you for $50 + shipping. Pretty sure thats a lot cheaper than you can get one anywhere. And mine is in 100% condition...
Even if you don't buy mine though; I really highly reccomend one of these...they saved me for the month it took my foot to heal. ;D

and i still got it around here some where

Foote that's one heck of a brace looks comfy. I twist my ankle all the time ( lucky I can't feel my foot !? ).
Ankle are hard joints to get better once broken and if a brace like helps relief pain when walking fantastic.
Off topic. Jack little test you can try ! ask the next person you see to point to their achilles heel and they'll point to the back off the leg which mean that what people call that area !
Just because it's not really call that doesn't mean people don't have a name for it ( Let what's Cellulite ? ).

Ok folks ACHILLE'S was a greek who was invunerable to attack due to being dipped into a magic potion when he was a baby (and no he didn't do Kebabs before anyone asks :biggrin:)
The woman doing the dipping (his mother I believe) held him by one heel thus the potion didn't get to that bit and later he was defeated but some smart a** stabbing him in the heel
Hence "an Achilles heel" is now the term for any week point in the chain or any weekness that can or does cause failure
When the early Docs all got round the table to name the bits of the body they were all into Greek and Roman mythology (hence all the Latin and funny names) and they called the tendon down the back of the heel (wait for it ) The Achilles Tendon
So DK as your ankle is now a week spot in your body it is now "Your Achilles Heel" but when you had it crushed it wasn't :biggrin:
So Sprog was tecnicaly right but if you jump on the bike and crush it again you would be :haha:
That was long but worth it (to me anyway :nana:)

According to a myth arising later, his mother, Thetis, had dipped the infant Achilles in the river Styx, holding onto him by his heel, and he became invulnerable where the waters touched him -- that is, everywhere but the areas covered by her thumb and forefinger -- implying that only a heel wound could have been his downfall.
The anatomical basis of Achilles death is more likely to have been injury to his posterior tibial artery below the medial malleolus. It is noted that this area would have been included in Thetis’ grip and therefore would have been vulnerable.
I've said for year my Achillies heel is my achillies heel !
Unless you read medical books people call the heel " The Achilies heel " their people of have named their shop " Achillies Heel " because they hurt theirs and people understand where it means !

Never heard so much rubbish, at least poor Greggles will get to have a laugh, all he wanted was a decent ankle support not a lesson on Greek mythology.. Ha ha ;D, all the best with your recovery by the way mate, shame i wont see you tommorrow bud :thumbs:
-
I think Jason and I started going a little off topic, still not much going on so .....
-
I really wish I hadn't started reading that....what a load of cattle poo
-
well you do miss all that dont you??
i think they were trying to remind you of home with all that poo :banana:
-
You can twist your ankle when wearing stilts !
I was using my new S-Rex ( big hoops ) and the strap slipped and I twisted my bad leg.
But if you tighten everything up that shouldn't happen !?
-
just gaffa it :D
Whats the worst that can happen?
Not a bad idea, but use martial arts wrist straps. :tape:
