As it's a quiet night on here and the War Dept is watching bloody Eastenders!  This is my little friend that has been with me since March this year. Playing football on astroturf, changed direction and 'pop, snap'. Dislocated foot hanging off and a Cat C spiral fracture of the Tibula. I put the foot back in myself there and then, but got some help at the hospital with the plate and 6 pins holding my Tibula together.    It still swells like this after a ride   |

feck! Fair play for getting back on the bike. Take it easy and gradual! |

Are you sure the swelling is not cos your socks are too tight  Only joking mate - looks nasty but the positive is you are back on the bike and heading for recovery  |

I think you even went onto tiptoe over your bars!! Now that's impressive!!! Hope your ankle settles down quickly!! |

Jeez you're doing well even thinking about riding! I broke my tib and fib just above the ankle bones and slit them in 2001. I was in plaster for 13 weeks after my op and struggled no end with the 4 months after that! Good luck with recovery mate, hope you have no lasting effects |

Cheers all. Yep the ankle doesn't sit down into the foot quiet right but nothing that stops me getting around. Don't worry guys, my good looks distract people from my ankle woes |
