...on my ankle. some of u may remember my crash back in june 05. well i thought my ankle was just severely sprained. 9 months later the pain is still there, not getting better, and becoming a real nuisance. so i finally decided to get a referal to see the orthopedic doctor. got my first xrays since the accident and i wish i had done it sooner. so apparently ive been standing/walking/sometimes running on a broken ankle all this time. i go for an MRI on tuesday and then surgery sometime soon. im depressed. $30 copay each visit. the doc wants me to do PT beforehand but i cant cause i dont have the money ( also a $30 copay each PT visit!). im gonna have to go on disability or quit and find a job that i can work sitting down (ugh!). cant drive. cant ride. my life is over.
I feel your pain man... I screwed up my ankle about a month ago and it still hurts. Although, I didn't break mine.
So... You can't stand with a cast or anything?
I remember. Now, I really hope you feel better. Never give up, there is always hope when there's a solution. It's just gonna take time. And, perserverance.
You have a fallback, right? In your photography? Distract yourself with that. You take great photos.
I'm sorry that sucks. :cry: Hope it heals fast.
Wow, that sucks. And yep..I remember the crash.. :nono:
How long do they expect rehab to take?
thanks guys. really. i wont know much until i get the MRI on tuesday and speak more with the doctor. we'll see
So sorry to hear...geez..$30/copay :o... I hope Tuesday's appt turns out better than you're expecting....
Damn that sucks.
