Just as I suspected
I have to see an orthopedic surgeon. That doesn't mean I have to have surgery, but I'll at least need physical therapy. Plus, I have to start taking glucosamine and chondroitin - like some sort of old arthritic person.
My doctor pointed to three places on the xray where bone spurs are starting to form. Great. I don't even know what that means! Maybe if they get big enough I can use my ankle as some sort of self defense weapon.
"Watch out for her, she's got killer bone spurs. She's not worth the trouble."
Probably not. Regardless, I'm optimistic that the supplements and physical therapy will buy me another couple of years on my original ligaments. We'll see what the orthopedist says. I'll let you know next Wednesday.
