Having some trouble
| Tue, 08-30-2005 - 8:34am |
Well, I haven't been on here much lately, and I haven't fallen off the wagon or anything like that. But I haven't felt good at all lately, and I am having alot of trouble with my joints, especially my ankles. I went to the doctor last week, and she is running some blood work, had some x-rays done, and I go back to her Thursday morning to find out the results. But it is quite depressing. I was doing so well with my exercise and last week it dropped down to 3 times and I couldn't do the jog part at all. Last night, I did a different dvd - a pilates one that I didn't have to put pressure on my ankles, so at least it was something, but I was on such a roll!!!! Anyway, I suppose I just wanted to vent a little. Hopefully, this will go away soon.

I know what you're talking about. Since going back to work (Teacher), my left ankle is killing me. I stand on it all day, then go to the gym. Sometimes, I get a sudden shot of pain, and stumble a little because it wants to give out on me. I broke it when I was nine, and the doctors claim there's little I can do except to strengthen the ankle with exercises. I soak it a lot lately in hot water with epson (spelling?) salts.
The exercises are weird. You pretend there's a pencil between your big toe and ... whatever you call the next toe thereafter... and write the alphabet. You have to rest your heel on a table, and move only the ankle to do this. I don't know if it'll work, or if Kaiser has gone cheap (hasn't it always been? oh well), but I'm feeling a little better after a few days.
Guess I just wanted to say I know how you feel. :)
