I have had this ankle pain for a couple of weeks. I had already begun to adjust my ways around it. Going down stairs with my foot sideways and such. Friday it became way more than tolerable. I think because I had a really active day on Thursday. I went to the doctor and was sent for an xray. Today the xray report came back and I was sent to a podiatrist.

I really liked him. I Really Liked him when he made no mention of amputation! Just two weeks of naperxon and aspercream, a week off and then an appointment. It is, he said, the beginning of arthritis as a result of a sports injury I had about twenty odd years ago. Hilarious as I am not a sports person. Perhaps proved by sustaining the injury.

I have renewed motivation to exercise and walk, walk, walk once my ankle is better.
