Specifically for a doctor's examination.

I'd rather not be "scolded" when there are actually people here who responded honestly to the question "How do I sprain my ankle?" Which is a little more insane than my question. Do not judge or lecture me. If you have an answer, then great. If not, then don't waste your time posting.
Thanks.

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.

So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.

Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.

A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.

Heal your ankle fully & fast?

You ill have to learn the location of the ligaments of the ankle and the directions they are running. With a lack of swelling this should be your only chance to fool an experienced physician. You should also be aware of the mechanism of injury for each ligament because that is going to come up during the history portion of the exam. You would not be able to fool me! HA!

Limp gently at first, as the day goes on limp more dramatically with a grimace on your face. Feel the pain .

You Gotta be F****** kidding me! Faking for a Doctor - my god, what is this world coming to. Better just "accidentally" hurt yourself. If you can figure out how to swell your ankle and turn it black and blue, you are so smart you should become a doctor.

Call the insurance company that's paying your claim. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to tell you.
