My left ankle has been bothering me since last Friday. I can barely walk on it fully and it throbs constantly. It's throbbing right now as I type this post.
I was going to wait it out, but after crying while crawling last night, I decided it's time to see the doctor. My ankle isn't bruised and it only swells a little at night because I've been walking on it. But it hurts soooo bad! I'm hoping it's just a sprain or a similar minor injury. My doctor appointment is this morning so I'll update everyone when I get back. Let's pray for the best :)
UPDATE
So, it appears that my ankle is not sprained or broken. My doctor is going to refer me to an orthopedic specialist to check out my ankle. He also ordered some blood work to be done on me to check on the inflammation level in my body. With an aunt that had lupus, he doesn't want to overlook anything, which I really appreciate.
For now he wants me to use crutches if I need them, slowly rotate my ankle so it won't get stiff, and keep off of it as much as I can. You mean I have been ordered by the doctor not to clean or cook? Hmm, this has turned out to be a great day after all! LOL!
