Sigh
I've been having trouble with my knee lately. I can't bend it straight. A 90 degree or close angle is fine. But straight? It's agony. No clue why. I mean sure, the dogs have body slammed it quite a few times. And I fall a lot. So ok maybe that did it. But it's really a pain. It's been going on for almost a week now. It's making things really hard. I can't do laundry because I'm so short I have to stand on my tip toes to get the clothes out of the washer. And walking to the kitchen or to take the dogs out is getting harder and harder. And it's putting all kinds of pressure on my bad ankle.
Speaking of, I went to a new doctor the other day. They're ordering a lot of tests on my ankle. They said it's way too weak and they don't know what's causing the pain. They're going to do an MRI and a nerve test. They're doing both ankles to compare, since I do have some strength in the right one. The doctor also said that my feet are oddly shaped which makes bracing tough. NO clue what that means. I thought he meant my big toes, but he wasn't worried about those at all. He gave me a brace and it has helped. Especially since I can barely walk, it's held my ankle together. It did sprain in the bathroom though. I got out of the shower, stepped down the best I could and it turned a 90 degree angle. THEN I slid on the wet tile. Yup, that's my luck.
