    As far as I can remember, this has never happened to me, but to my mother and sisters…

    Idk why, but I can stand with both feet like this for a long time. Maybe the sudden and quick rolling is what hurts.

    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.

    They don’t have ankles. They don’t have testicles. They are missing a bunch of ribs. They don’t fart. They don’t even have a Y chromosome. At a certain point, it’s probably easier to list the things they do have.

        Metatarsals are bones in your feet, they’re numbered.

        The 5th is the outermost.

        Theres a tendon that attaches in that area and when my foot fell off the skateboard while landing a kickflip I pogo sticked on the side of my foot and the tendon and bone had an argument about who was stronger … and I guess I got some strong ass tendons

          I broke one of the small ones in the middle/ outside of my foot while simply stepping one step off my porch. The Doctor called it the cuboid bone, he asked how I did it . I told him “I stepped off the porch and heard a snap like a twig from my foot”. He got pretty upset and said " look man just tell me how it really happened! ". I told him again and he said there is no way thats what happened. He wrote me a perscription for hydrocodon. I took two days off work, drank 40’s, mixed the hydros with xanax and M box 30’s that I already had and had a nice few days

            I wore a cast for a while. It healed.

            2 decades later and I have a slight gait imbalance and the leg it happened to is slightly stronger (I can tell during squats) from accommodating that.

    Had a subtallar dislocation almost 2 years ago so that was fun. 0/10 recommend sticking to periods. Proby.

    Oh, as a kid I was skiing with my dad, and saw the bottom side of a ski, was that good enough?

    you’re not really going to roll your ankles barefoot though, like there’s a reason our feet are wider than they’re tall

    But honestly, if there was a way to objectively measure pain, I’d like to compare it to a kick in the balls.

            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!

    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

    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.
