and it really is a pretty unique idea. Congrats all around, although linking in the OP would make it much easier than looking for last weeks link.
I'd suggest writing about a knee injury preventing full extension and including a ton of swelling, but I've got to go actually see a doctor anyway. /sadface

Who is MGoPT, and where is his/her/it's post?

And it sucks. Guessing it's 6 weeks before I even think of running somewhat painlessly and doctor says I'll probably have some pain for awhile.

Are high ankle sprain always more serious than low(??) ankle sprains?

Traditional ankle sprains (inversion sprains) in which the bottom of the foot collapses inward and the ligaments on the outside of the foot are sprained are classified into 3 levels of severity. A grade III inversion sprain may require up to 8 weeks (and occasionally even more) to recover as the ligaments have been completely torn.
A high ankle sprain at a bare minimum takes 4 weeks to recover, and usually 6-8 as a reasonably quick time table with proper diagnosis and treatment with lingering symptoms lasting as long as 6 months. Furthermore, inversion (and eversion) sprains can occur at the same time as high ankle sprains, which could further complicate recovery.

I would be interested in reading up on shoulder injuries, specifically labrum vs. rotator cuff.
I had invasive surgery to repair a torn labrum in both shoulders (plus a partially torn labrum in my hip), and find the joints to be a huge pain in the ass.
