25 year old son has badly rolled over an ankle today and had an important multi week trip abroad for his elective very soon. Ann trcomrndationd for sports injuries specialists in Sheffield ?

How bad is bad? A sprained ankle can be worse / more long ill effects than a fracture. Maybe go and get it checked out properly?  ie if for them to only say it’s sprained due crutches for a few days

alliance MTB do that kind of thing I think

Our daughter uses Richard at http://www.fit4-physio.co.uk

Based on Ecclesall Road

Get it properly checked out… I went to a and e when I rolled my ankle, to be told it was a sprain. Turns out i’d torn ligaments and their advice of use as much as possible was the complete opposite of what I should have been doing.  Screwed up my planned travels big time 🙁

So I feel your (his) pain.  Can’t reccomend anyone in Sheffield, but youryo definitely doing the right thing by seeking specialist help!

Rich at fit4physio is great.

I can really recommend ‘The Physios’ – 1 Beech Hill Rd, Sheffield S10 2SA (next to the Hallamshire Hospital)

I went over on my ankle quite badly on New Years Eve whilst out running. Loud crack, pain, swelling & bruising etc (I couldn’t put any weight on it a few hours after the injury)

Strapped it up with zinc-oxide tape and got an appointment straight away – Ultra-sound imaging showed ligament damage but thanks to some intensive treatment over the following weeks I was able to get my snowboard boot on three weeks later.

I can second this. having tried a number of physios over the years, these guys were the only ones that I’ve been to who weren’t snake oil salesman. equeally hear good things about fit 4 physio, but not tried them myseld

Fit4Physio on Eccy Road or 911 Clinic on Abbeydale.
