So I have had this recurring problem with my ankles.
Seems I have some strange form of the Gout. My ankle on my left leg started hurting and was really getting sore and I couldnt figure out what was wrong. After a few days it got incredibly painful. I would qualify this as the worst pain i have EVER felt. This is going to the DOCTOR pain! Ouch!
My girlfriend, who was wonderfully supportive and caring forced me to go to the doctor after a particularly bad episode one night at 4 a.m. when I was crawling around on the floor on my knees because I couldn't put any weight on my ankle at all. I needed water, so I crawled out of the room and into the kitchen to kneel at the sink to fill up a glass. It was at this point that I realized... "um this may not be completely normal."
So, the next morning, she looked up a doctor online that was in my insurance network and forced me to make an appointment. I hate going to the doctor. But this guy was pretty good. We will call him Dr. Body. Not cause he had a particularly GOOD one...just cause his name makes you think of that (the names have been changed here to protect the innocent). Anyway, this doctor prescribes me a bunch of Percosets... and then refilled the prescription a few times. Sheesh... I could have become addicted to those things. But they made the boo boo feel better fo sho.
So I limped around for a bunch of weeks... barely able to walk at some points... but i DID manage to go to and DANCE at a really fun Greek dance with my girlfriend Lia.
Seems like I may have had this same problem last year in my OTHER ankle. I will have to keep tabs on this one I guess. Sheesh... just what I need... AN ANNUAL BOO BOO.
Will keep you posted on this for sure!
