strike three
So. Yesterday, about three thirty, I was on lunch, sitting there, wriggling my foot cuase I was bored. I felt something shift, heard a soft pop, and felt a little..pain. Sorta liek the shifting/poping of cracking your knuckles. Jsut that momentary 'Uh, that hurt" and it's gone.
Or so I thought.
About 4:30-5 ish I notice my ankle is starting to hurt. Look down, it looks a little swollen, think nothing of it. It's been humid, which causes it to hurt, and the swelling didn't look to grotesque. 5:30 my ankle is about twice it's size and flaring up. I took 600mg ibprofen and let a message for Alex to stop by after work. At 6:15 when he stopped by my ankle was mimicing a hot air balloon. He agreed it was very swollen (And yeah, I wanted a second opinion cuase I tend to get hypocrontriac-sih) Unfortunatly We were busy and I couldn't leave early, so I worked till eight. By eight I wanted to gnaw my leg off at the knee, and the pharmisists thanks me for staying....and then big-boss man got gruffy when I said I might not be in in the morning.
4:30 am, I get up to go to the bathroom and my ankle is still hurting so I call in when I wake up at 6. Of course at 6 my ankle doesn't hurt. I debated going into the docs at all untill Iw ent to get dressed and felt pain slwoly building. I give in, and I;m at the er at 11.
They think what happened is in wiggling my foot a tendon rubbed aginst my plate/screws and either got a small cut, scrape, or other mild trama. It explains the sudden inflamation and pain. They called Dr. Knefel cuase he's my leg doc and he agreed that if it gets worse I;m to go to his ffice, and I should wear my boot if I need to. Untill then, RICE, and it should be better come monday.
I HATE MY BOOT!!! >.<
Get home, rest....no matter how I rest my leg, it hurts, so I find my boot...and the pain was easing, till it's almost gone now. Grr ARgh!
