You're doing all the right things - ruling out the major issues will let you know if you're just dealing with tendonitis/arthritis or something more major. Hope that brace works out for you, I think it should help both physically and with some piece of mind. Surgery is obviously not desirable, and depending on your health insurance potentially expensive (I'm "young and healthy" with a high deductible plan, except I had a run where I hit my deductible 3 out of 5 years during a bad stretch). The good news is that arthroscopic surgery is a really quick recover. I had a joint clean out in my "good" (less bad?) ankle and felt great within a few weeks; much quicker and far less swelling than traditional open surgery.i got a cortisone shot about 10 days ago. It was a little bit tender after I got the shot, but nothing crazy. My range of motion still hasn't really improved. The X-rays showed no issues. No fractures no nothing. But apparently that's not uncommon. It could be an issue with the ligaments, or a tear, or little tiny cracks in the bone that aren't visible in an X-ray.
Going to see an ankle specialist next week. Might need to get a CAT scan or MRI. We'll see. I'm really hoping I don't have to get surgery.
Also, I bought that brace. I'll let you know if it allows me to surf. Thanks for the tips everyone. I wasn't really expecting any advice, this thread was mostly lamenting the fact that I cannot surf. But I'm grateful that some of you offered some help. Thanks again.
Thanks for the tips!Obviously surgery is the last resort, hopefully you'll be back in water asap and on the mend. Good luck!
Was very cold in the shade. Felt nice in the sun.was it cold?
I heard there was snow on Sandstone
I was going to do Los Padres this weekend, but I think there is more rain....
I say, listen to Marcelus Wallace, "Phook Ego"!Biggest long term injury is to my ego as I age in to inevitable kookdom
