It is quite possible that she damaged her ankle and that her continued use of it exacerbated the original injury.

As none of the people spewing hate on this thread are in a position to diagnose her condition, nor have the competence and skills to allow them to pass judgement, the comments are just another example of the absolute hatred they hold.

Rather sad to have so much hate.

eight times in two years that the winning 6 digits matched the PMs license plate. What are the odds. Beyond astronomical I imagine. I would be suspicious that the 'fix' is in, also.

If what you stated was true it would be worthy of investigation but as you misread/misquoted/fabricated it isn't. The winning 6 digits have never matched the PM's or anyone else's registration plate and never will as they are 4 digits. Three of the digits on one vehicle did and two from another van's number matched, the odds of that happening wouldn't be that high. Don't forget also that the numbers also matched the same digits on probably many other registration plates.

Battlefield injuries but she keeps going what an inspiration for 3 year olds.

So we can expect her to be in hospital when her court date arrives, do I read this correct?.

In the article, YL is quoted as saying she "tore" the ligament. She probably had a mild sprain and is now exaggerating this event for sympathy. From personal experience, I know that a "torn" ligament means massive swelling and a much more secure wrapping than what she is wearing in that photo. With torn ligaments, it doesn't matter how much you can deal with pain, the simple matter is the ankle goes completely unstable and you cannot stand on it or use it.

where is the drip in her as well? I just can't see how with that minimal strapping and she is wearing shoes that her injury can be anywhere near as bad as she is portraying it to be.

She should at least look like its real and be wearing a Moonboot!

You go girl!

Nah, you roll girl!

Yes, just that it does not necessarily become fully torn immediately.

I don't know if she's faking it or not, but could very well be real. She's sure milking it for what it's worth, of course.

yawn....

fake!

the masses cant tell the difference as they've NEVER seen real, quality acting, ever

Funny for a guy who has a wolf in his avatar not to be able to recognise a wolf analogy. In this case - the girl who cried.....?........? Anybody.......? Anybody........?

It's not hate - it's more a morbid fascination and an inability to look aware as this woman drives a once great country off a cliff and into a gorge of rubbish stinking of corruption, deceit, lies, back handers, nepotism and the rotting corpses of those who died because it furthered the cause, or just because they were in the way.

It was the eighth time that lottery winning numbers were the same as the numbers on Yingluck's licence plates.

Are you questioning my veracity? Neither I nor the OP used the term registration plate, so who is misquoting? Maybe we didn't read the same OP. Maybe you have a different interpretation of above quote from the OP in bold typeface. I have no idea if the OP is true or not. I was responding to the OP as written. Do you have a problem with me or with the OP? Why does it even matter to you? Are you with the government Lottery Office? Are you defending Ms Yingluck from I don't know what? I have read enough of your posts to know that you, sir, are a nitpicker. Whether you are a professional nitpicker of a dedicated amateur, I have yet to ascertain. I will go you one better, I bet some of those winning lottery numbers matched the numbers on a calendar. Please go be silly elsewhere else.

You are correct and observant. If torn, she would be immobilized in a cast.

I bet she's building up to not appearing in court next week in her negligence of duty in the rice pledging scheme.

I see her brother's PR team at at it again.

Som Oiy !

Injured on the battlefield of democracy. What a trooper!

Nah… she tripped on her puppet strings.

You go girl!

Yes. Go far, far away.

Slight of frame yet stout of heart.

A torn ligament, no weight on it for two months, talk about milking the situation, what does she want .....sympathy.........my Sympathy goes to the FARMERS who have NOT been paid not a molly coddled PM who cries at the least upset.... get a backbone yingluck......................

No other Shin family member has one, so I guess she would make history

What's next crying over a broken finger nail

"It was the eighth time that lottery winning numbers were the same as the numbers on Yingluck's licence plates."

​Wow!! That's unbelievable!!

Did anyone ever think that someone had "rigged" the lottery numbers to make this farce possible? This country NEVER ceases to amaze.

If it was a completely TORN ligament, she would need surgery to repair it. If it's partially torn, her ankle would be put in an air cast or walking boot.

But this being Thailand (where everything is over exaggerated), I'm sure it's just a sprain and the only thing required is ice and a bandage wrap.

You go girl!

Yes. Go far, far away.

fanboi, you know nothing about her.

Tore a ligament getting out of a car. Poor didums. What a strenuous life she leads! I wonder if it was really serious enough to need bandaging or carting around in a wheel chair, or did her spin doctors take inspiration from Angela Merkel's heroic skiing accident to get sympathy. The vision of her blubbing in a wheel chair after being indicted and barred from office by the NACC over the big rice pledging swindle is going to be too hard to bear.

The millions of cheated farmers who have not yet committed suicide by hanging will take to the streets in the hope that soldiers do the job for them more painlessly.

I bet she's building up to not appearing in court next week in her negligence of duty in the rice pledging scheme.

Maybe she has her flight booked to Singapore, where she will be too sick to travel to make a court appearance?

She is temporarily crippled by incompetence, unable to climb out of a van which is easy to do if you sit down on the edge first and place both feet on the ground before you put your weight on them.This is a metaphor for the nation, also temporarily crippled by incompetence. The fact the van she climbed out of is related to corruption in the lottery, adds another dimension to this metaphor of a person/nation temporarily crippled by corruption and incompetence. It is strangely poetic.

My friend says that Thaksin has a remote-control system built into the chair so he can remotely drive Yingluck directly to the meetings without having to bother with Skype.

Temporarily ??? measured in decades or centuries?

She likely agrees the photo shoot of her looks good in the media.....tough lady!

Next photo op......

Sitting on a crocodile.

Yesterday it was a fractured bone which doctors put a cast on. Today it is torn ligament. Just shows you should always get a second opinion if you don't like the first one.

Caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra arrived Tuesday morning at the Police Cadet Academy in Sampran on a wheel chair to attend a cabinet meeting.

She tumbled on the ground as she stepped out of a van during a trip to have lunch at a noodle shop in Chiang Mai last Saturday.

Doctor put cast on her left leg to cure the fractured bone.

She was wheeled into the meeting room to chair the meeting.

She told reporters that she still has pain on the left leg and doctor said it will take about a month and a half to recover the injury.

Pathetic posturing by Barbie, who brings new meaning to the term "lame duck PM".

She couldn't even admit that she's too dumb to get out of the lottery-numbers van without tripping herself up...had to blame it on uneven pavements. The photo at the time showed her standing unaided (quite possibly a feat in itself at the best of times) with her hand on her ass....poor wee thing probably had concussion.

Now she wants sympathy?? Yeah, rrrright. As others have said, and as I found out as well, tear your ligament and the pain is agonising almost immediately...no walking around like she did. Fake injury for the fake PM, one might think...

No doubt she will milk this for all it's worth, and use it as an excuse to face up to even less of her responsibilities (like going to court to answer the charges against her). She can go in her nice new wheelchair, and if there are steps, her donkey Chalerm could give her a 'backie'

She famously said she would die on the battlefield of democracy, but ended up tripping over herself and then rolling ignominiously in the gutter...

Since when does slipping out of a mini-van produce a torn ligament that would induce any doctor to order two months in a wheelchair ? Did she only pay 30 baht for the doctor visit ? Thaksin is working overtime. Yesterday, he instructed Pheu Thai to issue a statement that any ruling by the Constitutional Court would be defied. Today, he's got Yingluck in a wheelchair for two months. Not leaning on the arm of an assistant. Not leaning on a walking stick. Not sporting crutches. A wheelchair. Because the fight for democracy goes on. She will fight for democracy ( not the courts, mind you - democracy ) if she is simultaneously hooked up to an intravenous drip. Through her tears, through her sprained ankles, somehow democracy will prevail. Yingluck may end up being bandaged like a mummy, with just her eyes peering through - but through her eyes will be the hope for democracy that all Thai people will be able to see. We all hope her ankle gets better real soon. Having said that, stepping down will be so much easier.

Wasn't she walking straight after having fallen?

Yes, she was. And she was standing on it. I tore the ligaments in my ankle and had the same two months recovery period. But within seconds of tearing the ligament, my ankle was swollen and I could not stand and put the slightest pressure on it. She is faking it.

Very true gentlemen. But this was torn ligament delayed reaction syndrome. Very rare. She was able to continue on the day and scoff her noodles. What a star eating with the common people while in such pain. Now it's really serious so she needs the wheel chair but will carry on like the true soldier of democracy she is.

Of course, with such a serious and painful injury she won't be able to attend NACC probes, courts or anything like. Probably be at least 2 years before she's fully fit.

Heaven help Thailand if someone threatened them and the acting defense minister broke a nail.

I hope all you nasty fascist elitist HiSo amart Suthep loving Abhisit praising judicial coup supporters feel guilty now you see the pain and suffering this defender of people's democracy and brother's amnesty is willing to go through. What a star!

A torn ligament, with best regards from Dubai

Now you cannot travel to Hawaii

Big brother has ripped those doctors off...

Next will be the million baht compo claim

The picture shows both ankles bandaged up. Did she tear a ligament in her leg, as stated, or in both ankles simultaneous which would taken some doing. Methinks both bandages are just for the media. It seems strange that her injured ankles are not swollen at all, so that she can wear her normal leather shoes.
