Ow.
Ow ow ow ow ow.
I've sprained my ankle...

(no sprained ankle smiley).
I was climbing on Beryl to get a bag of shredded paper off the roof, and my foot slipped off the wheel and I fell, with a shriek my colleague described as 'Like Nigel falling off the roof but shorter', landing on one ankle, my bum and one elbow. Only fell about 12", but it was enough. I've got a cold compress on the ankle now, and my foot up on a chair. I walked home on it, so it's obviously not badly damaged, but it does hurt....
I expect when it stops hurting, my elbow will take over.
I'm applying

internally.
I bought some ibuprofen anti-inflammatories on the way home, as I normally only have paracetamol. I don't feel the need to take one for the pain at the moment, but should I take one for the anti-inflammatory stuff anyway?
