Hello my friends,
I just wanted to write to let you know what has been happening to me.
Two years ago, April 2006 I placed my hands in a surgeon who I thought would help me with my right ankle pain and my reason for having difficuties walkingand my need for a cane. I had bone growing on bone and it had to be removed. I thought that would take care of it.
Well it is now July 2009 and this time I went for a second opinion concernng my right ankle and so Tuesday I went and had x-rays done and saw the orthopedic doctor, Dr. Rudolph. She saw some things on the x-rays tht she did not like. She saw I had two bone spurs, one on the top and one behind my heel. She also noticed thining bone that looked like the start of arthritis. She also had me walk for her and she noticed that my gait was off; I was walking on the side of my foot and somewhat babying it, which I never meant to. I have been walking like this for quite some time. She thought my ligaments were tight due to the faact my ankle would not go back to neutral. It was like stiff and would not budge.
I am scheduled for an MRI on Monday the 27th of July at 3:45 p.m. central time.
She placed me in a walking boot with hinges and I have wearing it ever since. It takes so much out of me just to walk and I am in tears it hurts so much.
I know in my heart that something will be done so I can get relief. It is hard not being able to speed walk like I used to do.
Through it all I am keeping a positive attitude.
Love, Teresa

Hi Teresa,
Well at least now you know why you have been having problems with that ankle now. I know that doesnt help with the pain any and it doesnt help that you cant speed walk either for now. It is so hard to be in pain. I pray that the pain doesnt last for long and that with the MRI the drs will be with you and that the drs will be able to fix you up. I know bone spurs are very painful. I hate that your in pain. I live in pain 24/7 so I do understand what your going thru and its just horrible. I am really proud of you that your keeping a positive attitude with all of this. You are one tough cookie my dear. I love you and I will be praying for you as I always have been.
Please let me know how the MRI went.
Love you....Julie
