When I saw this story I got to thinking about how I'd tape up a seriously sprained or broken ankle. It seems that it might help to put a good sized strong (green?) stick on each side of the leg and try to tape them to the calf, so when walking you're actually walking on the ends of the sticks, rather than putting any weight on the foot itself. Does that make any sense?

But then again I wonder if the sticks would press on the side of the ankle area and actually cause more pain.

Just wondering ...
