Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Dawn, Thank you for the idea of the soda can for my ankle. It's not swollen, just has a bump on it and it kind of caves in towards my toes. I went to the doctor today and he took x-rays, says he can't see a fracture or anything. I guess this is good news but I'm kind of bummed about it only because it's not something that can really be fixed. He said it is stressed from bearing my weight all the time, the tendons and muscles are all flared and the muscles are flexing which is why it is pointed sideways. There is not much I can do for it, just try heat and wrapping it in an ace bandage. So i guess it is just one more part of my body to be in excruciating pain all the time. Even when I'm laying here it kills me, not just when I walk on it. Also driving is terrible now, I don't know how I'm going to manage. I always brake with my left foot since my right leg is bad, it's natural to me now I've been doing it for so long. But now it kills to brake with the left foot or the right foot. I just pray the treatment comes soon. Anyway, I wanted to thank everyone for their ideas and support. I hope everyone is having a good day / evening. <hugs> Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
