Title: Ankle Issues
Post by: SjoGirl on March 13, 2019, 01:59:59 PM
Do any of you have particular issues with your ankles? My right one seems to go out on me at times or if I step in a certain way feels like it has a steel wire cutting into it (it's that painful).

I plan to discuss with my rheumy later this month but just wondered if anyone else had a similar issue and found a cause.

I had similar issues before part of my tendon crawled up my right leg.

Joe, when you mention your tendon was there some treatment that you had to undergo for that?

They put me in a walking cast. It added two inches to my long leg and made it hard to get around. I took it off after a bit. (They were not going to do anything to pull it down and re-attach it.) After about tow years I have some control back but prefer not to use it to drive.
