back to the ortho?

Left foot:

 

Right foot:

See that lump about two inches to the right of my left ankle bone?  That isn’t there on my right foot.  It only sticks out when I turn my foot like that, but I think its not supposed to do that.  The skin over that spot if kinda dry, like its been that way a while now (light callous from abrasion), so I don’t think it happened from this fracture.  But I think it may the cause of some of the issues.

My foot still is sore to walk in bare feet.  And it still hurts to rotate my ankle.  I snowshoed up Mt. Marcy last weekend and felt no pain at all.  I think it has to do with the way the snowshoes rotate.  It probably kept my foot from twisting at all.  I did pinch a nerve in my left foot though (falling apart all over), so its still kinda numb.  Annoying but livable.

Maybe I need to go back to the ortho and suggest we take a more aggressive approach.

Sigh.  Getting fatter by the day.  :(

  1. Jon, you poor soul! I say go in there and ask him/her to explain all options, thinking outside the box even. I don’t know about you but I get white coat syndrome something awful so I always right down what I want then read it out.

    Sending lots of good thoughts your way my friend.
