Today, I bought a treadmill as part of my goal to get fit for summer. It doesn't look like it's going to get much use, seeing as how I sprained my ankle trying to get it in my doorway. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided to turn my life around and start exercising more. I didn't even make it out the door before I tripped and fractured my ankle. FML
Today, trying to get into shape because I run out of breath after walking more than 30 minutes, I started to hit the gym. Too bad my legs didn’t want to cooperate and decided that it would cause limping-worthy pain for every step I took on the treadmill. FML
Today, I decided to be healthy and go for a run. I broke my ankle. FML
Today, after spending two hard months losing 20 pounds of my 80 pound goal, I was actually excited to exercise. After I was done exercising, I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle. FML
Today, after a month and a half of recovering from a sprained ankle, I was back in the gym training. After a grueling, sweaty session on the treadmill, I tripped walking down the stairs which sprained my other ankle. Back to round one. FML
Today, I bought a $450 elliptical machine to get in shape of the new year. After 5 hours of putting it together, I realized that all the ceilings in every room of my apartment are too low for me to use it without hitting my head. I can't return it. FML
Today, I was at the gym, feeling pretty proud of myself for working out consistently for the past month. As I was about to grab a towel, I tripped and landed face-first into a pile of gym mats. People turned to look, and all I could do was try to laugh it off through the pain of what turned out to be a sprained ankle. FML
Today, I managed to break my ankle by running it over with the wheelchair I've used on a daily basis for the last 6 years. FML
Today, I decided to begin jogging since my weight was getting a little out of control and I wanted to do something about it. Guess who tripped on a root and broke their ankle? Yeah. Exactly. FML
Today, I went to sit on a desk chair, which promptly rolled out from under me. This made me fall on my own foot, literally shattering two bones. I just bought a 9-month gym membership and can't use it because I wanted to sit down. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't worry OP, you may have injured yourself, but it's just a sprain. If you broke it, that treadmill REALLY would have gone to waste.

Who knows, maybe a good horror movie will be based on your life later on. Sweet dreams, OP.

A bad sprain can take months to fully heal actually, from experience

Bad sprains are as bad if not worse than a break, actually. I'm on week 5 of recovery from one and have at least another month.

Don't feel bad OP, some people just have weak ankles. I know I have terrible ankles and I sprain it all the time unless I wear boots. Hopefully it heals quickly though so you can start using it!

Work your abs and arms til your ankle heals.

Always test the weight and angle of what your lifting by gradually increasing your effort. I've torn my shoulders, hurt my middle and lower back so many times by trying to do things quickly, that I'm most likely going to be immobile by the time I'm 60. Kudos on lifting with your legs though.

When the sprain subsides use the treadmill to help strengthen your ankles =)
