I fell about 7ft from a ladder last Thurs & landed awkwardly on my right ankle & was it ever painful.
The ambulance crew managed to carry me from the back of home along a path & in & out of scaffolding pole (placed by the roofing company working at my home).
Up shot was after an X ray it seems as if I've ruptured my Achilles tendon & dislodged a small piece on bone, lower leg now in plaster cast & I have to return to the fracture clinic at Derriford Hospital Plymouth on Tues for a full assessment & decision on recovery.
At least I can't stand & wash or dry the dishes :bannana:
Anyone suffered this injury?
