[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 458191, member: 11791"] The headache sequence worries me more than the ankle... but both depend on history. Headache - is this a common occurance? or new? If common - usual to be this severe? or getting worse? If it is new or newly severe... definitely needs to be handled carefully. We're familiar with migraines here - while severity does vary, there's a "worst case" that usually hits early on in the migraine experience (one of the early migraines that you get), and from there, it doesn't get worse than that... Other reasons for headaches are more complex - and may be medical emergencies. {{hugs}} on that one. Ankle - how bad is the swelling? it this a common occurence? is it worse or better after a nights sleep? Serious swelling should be looked at, although probably not a major issue. If this happens all the time (aka klutz-syndrome), then there can be accumulated damage... which makes each new twist worse than the previous. This would warrent a medical consult - but not a trip to the ER, for example. In which case I might not have sent him to work - but it depends on what the job is, too! If normal home care (R.I.C.E.) doesn't seem to be doing any good... also warrants a trip to somewhere. [/QUOTE]
