What shall I do?
Ok, a few months ago something happened to my right ankle. What happened I have no #### clue. But since then I have been having issues... Somedays the pain is so #### unbearable that it is difficult for me to move. Then somedays I feel fine with no pain what so ever...
It all depends on how active I am, I guess. When I was home a couple weeks ago I got out of bed & collaspes under the shear pain. I thought about going to the ER at that time but decided against it.... It would be kinda of embarrassing for me to go to the ER for just a simple ####### sprain. So I bought an ankle brace instead & have been wearinmg it religiously.
Now all week this week has been great. No pain & i even stopped wearing my brace. Until yesterday, I went into NYC and knew I was going to be doing a lot of walking. So as a precaution, I wore the ankle brace. After a few hours the pain set in....
Now today I can barely move cause of the pain. I can barely get in & out of the truck & I'm sure it was comical to see me tarping this load.
Now I don't really want to go to an ER for something as simple as a sprain. But what if it's worse then a sprain? A torn ligement? A fracture?
But then again I also don't want to be comfined to my truck either!
I am in ####### pain!!!

Go get it checked..better to know either way and take care of it the way it is supposed to be taken care of..you don't want to make it worse..
-
If you stop by the house we can just cut it off...
REDD and outerspacehillbilly Thank this. -
Depending on what you did it could be a torn tendon, a fractured tibia or fibula.
Where does the pain start? What kind of pain? I turned my talus and sheared the fibula off at a 45* angle about 1/2 way up the shin. I can tell you the pain I start to get is right in the centre of the ankle and it is a sharp pain. Like stabbing daggers into the joint and twisting. -
Id say go get it checked out..dont want turn something simple into something major.. That would suck. Rather b out the rig for 4-5hrs in an ER than 2-4 weeks cuz something got really effd up by not going to a doc in the first place!
if ya r still in the nyc tri state may i suggest the meadowlands hospital im seacucus off of rt 3 plenty of parking for a rig there as that portion of seacacus is a bunch of warehouses. dont kno the exact adress but its on meadowlands parkway in seqcacus nj -
Do you have Medicare or does the visit to ER come out of your pocket?
-
probabely just getting old and wearing out--but a good idea to get it checked out regardless
