So my foot feels a lot better today. The swelling has gone down, but I still can't put weight on my heel. I went to the podiatrist today and had some X-Rays taken. The heel isn't broken, so the doctor thinks that three things could have happened:
- I might have bruised a ligament.
- I might have bruised my calcaneus [the calcaneus is the fancy medical term for the heel bone].
- I might have a stress fracture.
I didn't know that you could bruise a bone, but you can. Apparently this is a precursor to a stress fracture. The doctor says that it is too soon for a stress fracture to show up on an x-ray, so I have to go back in a few weeks for a check up. In the meantime, he gave me some gel insoles for my shoes to relieve the stress of walking. Also, he said that if I wanted to, I could get an ankle splint, but that seems like more of a hinderance.
Enough of my old lady whining. Any one here listen to Bif Naked? Jooooohn? She's getting married! Wow - go check out her myspace profile.
