The new "send photo" function is going to ruin lives?

If I take a screenshot of a conversation - no, Facebook, I don't immediately want to send it to the person I'm chatting to?! Immediately popping up the screenshot image with a send button EXACTLY where the usual chat send button is is DIABOLICAL

Tourist looking for daytrip advice!

Hi Brisbanites! I'm coming up to your fair city from SA in December and looking for some recs on potential day trips to an island - I've been told Straddie, Moreton and Bribie are all contenders. I won't have a car so will be relying on public transport or organised tours, and only have a day to dedicate to this, no overnight stays. I'm not really the adventurous type so diving and kayaking not really my scene, I'm more looking for beautiful scenery, easy walks, good food and drink, unique things to do, something a bit different from the city where I'll be the rest of my stay... Would love some local insights!

New app design?

Noticed the Android app has had a redesign - looks to be just aesthetic, can't see any new features. Now the opening screen is a map of America instead of the people at the train station. Wonder why they changed it?

Anyone else unable to stream S3 Ep5 on Foxtel this week?

I've been trying to watch ep 5 "Druggy Druggy sex party" on my Foxtel IQ all week, and every day it's told me it hasn't aired yet and there's no "stream" button option. Earlier this week it told me it was airing on Thursday night, OK weird. Tonight it's telling me it's not in for another 2 hours. I can't watch this damn episode?! HELP

Why can't you see other players' tickets at the end of Nordic Countries?

I love playing Nordic Countries on the app (I'm on Android) but for some reason when you tap "see map" at the end of a match you can't tap your opponents' avatars to see what tickets they had like you can on other maps. Why is this?

ICYMI: compression stockings are really important!

So I'm 8 weeks post op for a trimal. Two weeks ago I was told by my surgeon that by today I'd be full weight bearing in regular shoes. That looked like a possibility until 1.5 weeks ago, when I started to get unbearable, debilitating pain after even barely minimal walking activity. I'm talking post surgery level pain, requiring Endone/oxy, after just 10 minutes of standing and gentle walking. I couldn't work it out as everything had felt pretty good up to that point, and my xrays showed my bones were healed. My surgeon ordered a second lot of xrays which showed nothing unusual. He said my pain response was "atypical". Everyone else said pain was just a normal part of the recovery journey. I was crying every day wondering if I was ever going to be OK again. The last night I realised I hadn't been wearing my compression stocking - I'd put it in the wash and then forgotten about it, and had been wearing regular socks or no socks. Out of desperation I decided to try wearing it again - and I kid you not, overnight the pain changed. I woke up feeling better than I had in weeks. Today, wearing the stocking, I've been walking around the house like nothing is wrong. The relief is indescribable! So now I'm wedded to my stockings and socks and won't be taking them off again. I'm writing this because neither my surgeon nor my physio thought to mention this when I was complaining to them about my "atypical" pain, and it's so simple. If anyone else is having significant pain - check your socks!

Stupid question but... what does the boot actually do?

As per the title... what's the purpose of the boot actually? I'm 7 weeks post op for a trimal and according to my latest xray my bones are basically healed now. My surgeon told me I'd be able to transition out of my boot to regular shoes about now, but I'm still getting pretty significant pain after activity. I'm wondering whether the boot would be alleviating some of that pain, and if I should stick with it for a while longer or if I should just get on with wearing regular shoes, knowing the pain is probably going to be present for some time yet anyway.

Increased pain/discomfort when elevating?

Does anyone else have this? Is it normal? I'm 7 weeks post op for a trimal and have found that sometimes having my foot elevated seems to increase the swelling discomfort and throbbing/pulsing. If I've had my foot down for a while and then put it up, it can be newly uncomfortable for around 20-30 mins before settling. Last night I fell asleep with my leg on my wedge as usual, and after about four hours felt such discomfort I removed the wedge, which made things better. When I woke up at the normal time I felt discomfort from the swelling again and so put it back on the wedge. Does any of this sound normal?

Plus size comfy lounge wear, track pants

I'm looking for super comfy, soft, warm, cosy wide leg track/sweat pants or lounge pants in plus sizes (18-20). Bonus points if they're extra long too as I'm tall. They have to be comfortable and cosy enough to wear around the house, but still look cool and chic for wearing out.

Feel like I'm being gaslit by my ankle - pain

I feel like I'm being gaslit by my ankle when it comes to pain and discomfort, literally minute to minute. I'm 7 weeks post op for a trimal, and am cleared for WBAT with crutches. Last night after going out to see a show and dinner (all seated, minimal walking, about 5 hours total, felt fine) I had the most excruciating pain I've had since the surgery and actually had to take an Endone to go to sleep. Woke up feeling a bit better but still sore, spent the whole day doing not much and trying to keep it elevated, and pain has been randomly up and down all day, varying between a 2 and an 8. After several hours on the couch tonight I felt strangely pain free, have walked to bed feeling as good as I have all week - get in bed and elevate leg, and I'm back to pain level 5. What the actual hell is going on? Does anyone else have these schizophrenic pain responses? How are you dealing with them?

Overweight/obese healing journey

I'd really like to hear from people who are overweight and/or obese about their broken ankle healing journey. I am 7 weeks post op for a trimal and was cleared for PWB a week ago but ever since transitioning from NWB to crutches I have been experiencing severe pain off and on. People keep telling me I'm overdoing things but I really feel like I'm doing the bare minimum of walking and still suffering and I can only assume my weight is the factor, and all the advice I'm getting is made for smaller people.

Weird swollen patch on ankle after PWB

7 weeks post op for a trimal, and have just completed my first week of PWB with crutches. I've overdone it a couple of times in this past week so still learning what my limits are, but I have noticed that after even a short period of being up and walking I am getting this specific, distinct swollen patch on my inner ankle about the size of an egg. You can see it just to the under the bandaid in this photo, to the right side. It's soft and tender, and you can actually leave an indentation if you push on it with your finger. It goes away after elevation. Does this seem unusual or concerning?

Pain diary app?

Can anyone recommend an app that works as a recovery diary, to keep track of pain and other markers day to day? I haven't been doing this and wish I had started, so I could get a better overall idea of how my relationship covert has actually been going, when it's hard to remember.

TENS machine for pain relief

I'm 7 weeks post op for a trimal, and am current one week PWB. My physio has started me using a tens machine on my calf to stimulate the muscles, which feels great. I'm wondering whether it would be helpful for easing my soft tissue pain around my ankle too - has anyone tried a tens for pain relief? My xrays show my bones have repaired, so now I'm just dealing with swelling and angry sore soft tissue and if a tens could help I'd love to try it.

New deep ache now I'm PWB, should I worry?

I'm 7 weeks post op for a trimal. At my 6 week review last Thursday the surgeon said my xrays were great and that my bones were nearly completely stitched, and that I could start PWB in a boot and with crutches. He said I could do a week of that and then should be able to transfer to boot no crutches. So things started off OK, I was feeling quite good and started seeing a physio who gave me exercises to do (alphabet, flexion). After a few days of this I started feeling a bit bold and spent a few hours on Monday walking around the house without crutches, which felt OK. On Tuesday though I felt really sore, even after elevating all night, and ever since then my ankle has been turning on and off with quite strong pain. On Wednesday I had to attend a 5 hour work function which involved about an hour of standing, and a bit of walking, and my ankle felt OK, but on Thursday it was aching on and off and "pinging" with random sharp pains at irregular times. Now on Friday morning it is absolutely throbbing and aching, even though I've just gotten up and it's been elevated all night. Walking this morning feels really difficult and painful, as though I haven't progressed at all. I feel really upset and discouraged and I don't know if this is normal.

Did I do too much walking too early?

I'm 6.5 weeks post op for a trimal. Five days ago I was finally cleared for PWB in my boot, with crutches. My surgeon said I should do a week like that, and then I could get rid of the crutches and do a week of just the boot, before being able to transition to regular shoes. Yesterday though I got a bit bold and started walking around the house without crutches - so about 4 days before I was told I should. It was a bit clunky and difficult but I could do it. This morning I've woken up with much stronger pain in my ankle than usual. Have I done something wrong or is this just to be expected?
