Janey35 asked:

How much compensation should I expect to receive for a severe ankle sprain which required a plaster for almost 3 weeks, crutches for 7 weeks, physiotherapy and 8 weeks off work. Expected healing time is 18 to 24 months or more. I have no idea, not expecting a goldmine but have been given no clues and I’m 17 months on from the accident!

Ankle Injury – Is physio pointless?

tosborne6 asked:

I hurt both of my ankles within a few weeks of each other about 7 years ago. As I only play sport for fun and not competitively I didn’t get physio on them at the time. They’ve always been weak since. Recently I started playing tag-rugby and soccer with some workmates but it seems that every time I play I end up twisting one or the other of my ankles.

My question is, after so long is there any point going for physio on my ankles or is it too late?

Andie asked:

I’ve had a knee injury for a little while but only just been to doctors. I’m having physio on it but it isn’t a severe injury.

I forgot to ask if it is a bad idea to run on it, i’ve got exercises to do and recommended swimming, is it a bad idea to do a few short runs just to keep my fitness up??

Any advice would be grateful. Thanks

Mad as a Cat in a Bomber Jacket asked:

Just wondering for future refrence.
By looking at a person examining them, would a physio be able to notice if a person’s bones weren’t formed properly – too large or too small, that’s what I’m asking ?
