What I'll say is that I have been fairly constant in my attention to it for the last 20 hours (since it happened). The pain is much decreased (I have a pretty high pain threshold and I haven't taken a painkiller yet - I want to note what's going on.) I've been stretching and elevating and icing and resting (and not walking) since it occurred. I can now flex my foot with no weight and no pain (but the tightness and tension are observable). I can walk on it for short distances with full range of motion. <br /><br />I'm not suggesting that I won't have to have it evaluated - I'm VERY into evaluation. But I'm not going to assume this is a long-term injury. Won't help my attitude and it's not supported by my experience over the last few hours. I'll keep you posted though and I really appreciate your reaching out.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-86229784730970842172015-08-02T09:33:42.934-04:002015-08-02T09:33:42.934-04:00Thanks!

Your friend had a 3rd degree tear. I don't sense that's where I'm at. The swelling isn't visible externally and I am more mobile now than I was 5 hours ago. I think rest, hydration, elevation and stretching are going to go a long way. But I'm definitely paying attention. If it's not getting better, I will definitely go to the doctor.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-31798669998043477922015-08-01T20:05:44.004-04:002015-08-01T20:05:44.004-04:00It's unpleasant, that's for sure.

Household accidents are no joke (nor garden accidents). He was okay but a long recovery.
