Stepped on a sweetgum ball and rolled my other ankle while out for a run today. I'd been looking carefully for them all morning, but got distracted by a weird smell. 😔 Made it back home and now I get to see what the damage will be.
Going to call my doctor tomorrow. I have an annual/physical appointment on Wednesday but might as well see if she can call me in some imaging in the meantime (and I don't want to blindside her). I feel like my ankle itself is actually doing OK, but the top of my foot has swollen and is painful. There's a couple of things that could be, and I am not wanting a repeat of my left foot where the real problem wasn't found for almost a year.
Not sure if I'll go in to work tomorrow; my husband has offered to drive me and I already have a full suite of Joint Problem items there, but I don't know if I want to deal with everyone seeing me hobble around just yet.
Waiting for x-rays to make sure I don't have a fracture. It is not behaving as expected and Jay reminded me that every time I don't listen to myself I regret it.
Radiologist will look at the x-rays this week but so far so good! Just soft tissue injury with a few extra involved tendons for fun. Asked for some crutches but refused a walking boot since I need my orthotics and this ankle seems a lot more stable than the last one I sprained.
