Get off them as soon as possible even if you have a some pain. You are hardcore and can handle it. Save the leftovers in case you have a really bad day. That's what I do.
What is you plan for strengthening your ankle when its healed? You'll obviously do some physical therapy, but I always do a little extra. Yoga...weights...shower exercises...whatever.

1st paragraph is spot on. Reading other posts, I will get 800 mg ibuprofen.
2nd paragraph I have a close friend that is a PT. I'll see what he recommends.
In HS, I sprained my left ankle badly. The Doc said it would have been better to have broken it. I had 6 weeks to report to Basic Training. 3 weeks in the cast, then 2.5 weeks doing hydrotherapy involving hot and cold temps: 5 min in ice water doing range of motion, 5 min in hot water, then 4,3,2,1 min. I did that for 2 weeks in the HS boys locker room.
Totally SUCKED. It worked. I was running at Basic. Miracle.
I'm not sure, as an older person, that I have the nads to carry through. I sure as hell gonna try.

Now hyrdrocodone - with a few drinks - that's the stuff.

They gave me some this Hydrocod/Acetam 7.5-325 mg on my first day before surgery. Didn't do squat except made me sleepy.

Are you kidding? Those things make you feel amazing. When I got my wisdom teeth out I was popping one every 2 hours or so and when I stopped I got the worst headache I've ever had in my life.

Nope. Thus OP question
Humm. Reread the first paragraph about PT. Does/could this involve my wife?
