Yay.

You remember, a few weeks back I told you I had hurt my ankle, and had to wear a brace for 6 weeks?


Well, that was 8 weeks ago, and the ankle didn't just not get better, it had been getting worse again. Basically, the only thing I can manage is a slow walk on a plane, even ground; anything with an incline or the unevenness of a well-groomed lawn is not manageable.

This finally led my doctor to refer me to have a MRI done.

Result: I have two completely ruptured ligaments, another partially ruptured one and another severely over streched one, the cancellous bone is oedematous and a Hydrops articularis of the upper ankle joint.

yay.

Oh, no! Oh, honey! *HUGS YOU SO MUCH* Is there any way they could have seen this before? Surely they should have done something when they saw it was not getting better? How long will it take to heal?

Oh, that's awful! *HUGS* I echo Elb; what do they say in terms of recovery?

*HUGS* It is terrible that they missed it - but if they know, can they do something?

*Worries*
