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.

Wow!
I really wish I would have done this alot earlier.
I went to a sports physio and they think what I may have is a high ankle sprain-
So it looks like with an ankle brace and some rehab exercises I may be able to run again (cross fingers)
Although I might have to perm. wear a brace-
which sucks-
I wish I would have gone to physio ALOT earlier- they had way more to say then the doctor

much much better.
I would do with some physical therapy (money), though, massage and other lymphatic treatments (money), consuming a ridiculous amount of blackberry per day (money) and walking a lot daily.
Now, since I’m lacking in the (money) dept, I will have to keep on walking and postpone all the other nice treats for Bigfoot.
Yep, that’s its code name.
