What would be the right policy for UK to switch to no-first use policy? From P5 only China has a no-first use policy so why can't the western powers?
I started going to the gym last year and normally I never do cardio. Two weeks ago I wanted to try running and apparently you are not supposed to land on your heels but land on the balls of your feet and I didn't know this. I incline walked for 12 minutes and only ran for 3 minutes and stopped after getting mild pain.
Initially it wasn't much and I ignored it and kept walking long distances as I normally do. I started limping a bit but I was thinking it was probably muscle soreness and nothing else. I went out on labour day and walked a significant distance for the entire day, I was also drinking so I really underestimated the pain and the limping situation. The day after, my ankles were really warm to the touch and I couldn't get up on my feet for a while. I know its on me... I was really stupid. I got it on both my feet, thats also the reason that I am limping seriously. I feel the pain both inside and outside my ankles.
I have been doing RICE with 5 - 10 minute PT every day for 5 days now but I can't tell if its getting better... I'm only doing heel raises, calf stretch, one leg stance, ankle eversion. When I get up and stand on my feet for even 2 minutes I get swelling and tenderness on my ankles. I still have a slight limp that gets worse as I walk or stand and I was wondering if its normal even after a week.
What should I be expecting to see as improvement if I do conservative treatments properly? I was expecting to feel better earlier because I never injured my tendons before but I understand that tendons heal much slower. Also, should I introduce contrast bath at this stage or later on?
PS. I am currently unable to see a doctor or get an MRI for at least 3 weeks. I do have an ankle brace but I felt that immobilizing wasn't really doing it for me. Or am I approaching the whole situation wrong and I should immobilize completely instead?
