Fractured Ankle

Back in 2009 while I was doing Red Frogs I was heading over to the bus stop to head in with my team and some of the Schoolies we looked after to head into Surfers Paradise and while on the Zebra Crossing a Taxi decided to take off while I was on the crossing and hit me in my left leg. After the initial shock I was all good just a little shaken up.

Come to find just over a year after the Taxi had hit me I have a fracture that wasn’t picked up the first time around after getting an X-Ray the 2nd X-Ray picked up a lot more how I don’t see how the doctor didn’t see all this before.

After the 2nd X-Ray was taken a lot more damage was found then a CT Scan was done (Cat Scan) and it then revealed there was a fracture and a bone cyst which is a hole in the bone.

Seeing the fracture specialist about my ankle it seems like it was a little worse off then normal so now I am currently wearing a Temp Cast which is a Velcro Cast that I can take off to have a shower which is a big plus.

What the specialist had found was a Bone Cyst which is a Hole in the Bone which can over the years appear this happens to everyone and so what may have happened is when the taxi hit me it’s fractured and the bone has degraded over time so now I have to wear a Cast and be on Crutches and cannot put pressure on my ankle unless in the shower and that is it.

I have an appointment with the Gold Coast Hospital MRI Department on Saturday to find out what the cause of this pain is so yea not looking forward to it but it needs to be done.

Below is a picture of the cast that I have to wear it stops my ankle from pivoting however still not allowed to put pressure on it.
