- Have you ever...?

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

I happened to twist my ankle very badly back in Jan. 01. MRI's revealed

there were two big holes in the bone. I went through the healing process

with casts but found that the ankle would flare up and become painful again.

In Feb. 02 I went back and asked for another MRI to make sure the bone

was properly healed since I was experiencing these pain flare ups. After

being in a walking cast (it's really a boot) for a week I finally got the

MRI done. The bone was healed but there was a minor amount of fuild in the

joint.

Basically I was told that I may experience flare ups like this on and

off - I'm figuring it's a tendon/ligaments thing. I was advised to wear the

boot for a few days whenever it flares up and if it doesn't go away then to

come back to the docs.

So it's been almost a year and a half and I still get these flare ups.

I think once we injure something it sometimes just doesn't go back to 100%

right again. He may want to get ahold of one of these boots as they are very

helpful in letting the ankle rest.

Wishing you the best of luck.
