*Sighs* Someone quick! Wrap me in bubblewrap! XD

A week ago I fell and hurt myself (mostly skinned & bruised knees) and the other night I discovered my ankle was all bruised and it hurt. Fearing the worst, I got an appointment with the foot doc who took care of my stress fractured foot & went in today. I'm back in a boot, with orders to stay off my feet & ice my ankle as needed to bring down the swelling. The bruising came from my knee as blood will pool in my feet if there's an injury according to the doc. The pain is from a couple of heel spurs (I tore a ligament on the bottom of my foot as well as having some micro tears in my Achilles tendon), and the beginnings of arthritis. I have been spraining that ankle like forever (once I fell down the stairs and it swelled up & HURT & I had to go to the emergency room as Mom thought I broke it), so the arthritis makes sense to me & I do walk funny. XD The bone cysts; I didn't know was a thing. XD And it's nothing to worry about & from what I found online, probably have to do with my various ankle injuries. XD

So YAY!for not breaking anything & BOO! for hurting. XD

Yeah bone cysts are a thing, benign, generally harmless BUT they can stress fracture easily. Hope the boot helps calm things down

I read about them online after I posted this & the stress fracture thing really concerns me. Dad has an ankle brace I can wear (from when he rolled his ankle) & I can easily hide that under my jeans & hopefully, it'll heal itself.Thanks! As heavy as it is, it's really helping, although, it feels better if my leg is stretched out, which I can't do at my compy desk. So I guess it's back to Ancient Aliens for me. ;D

hope the brace works out for you.

Yeah getting the foot up will decrease swelling and pain

I have some in my elbow (bone cysts) but i don't walk on those but I have fractured on once

Thanks!

*nods*

OUCH! How'd you manage to do that? XD

I wonder if I also have one in my upper arm as sometimes the middle of it really HURTS!! XD

*wraps you in layers of bubble wrap!* I'm really happy that you didn't break anything, but I'm sorry that you're in pain! *huggles lots*

*huggles back* Thanks!I'm happy I didn't break anything too as I'd be out of work for a couple of months. XD I can live with the pain & staying off my foot helps with that.

[prismatika27.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I hope that you're able to stay off of it enough to help the pain. You're probably on your feet quite a bit dealing with the kiddos!

Thanks! I was able to which was good. Now to get used to getting up really early & NOT zonking out when I get home after the first shift. I've only been up for like 2 hours & yet, I feel like I need a nap. XD (All I was doing was answering my comments!)I saw on my phone that I walk around 2 miles a day at work. Yeah, some of it is going to & from my car & whatever errands I need to run, but still, that can't be more than a 1/2 mile if that. So yeah, I'm on my feet & moving! :D

[prismatika27.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! You just have to give yourself a bit of time to get used to it again. Once you do, you'll be able to kick butt all day long and not feel the need for a nap. (This is coming from someone who is constantly in need of a nap, though, so I don't know how comforting that might be. XD) Moving is always good, just take care to rest your foot when you can!

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]

Yeah. And it is getting better. Some days I'm TIRED & need a nap, & others I'm fine. Yup! :D (Awe... *huggles* Don't worry it is comforting! <3) And it's been better since I was off it for a long weekend. :D I did, thanks! :D

[prismatika27.livejournal.com]

At least it's getting better! (*huggles* I'm glad! <3) Yay x2! :D

[kiramaru7.livejournal.com]
