The issues with my ankle that started this summer have not improved at all. So, I'm just venting because I am really trying to remain positive but it's kind of hard.

This doesn't feel like my normal arthritis pain. My ankle and tibula feel fractured. So, my tendonitis seems to be spreading and walking is not fun right now. I've seen an orthopedist. (wait no I saw his PA) I did not rate high enought to be seen by him. He used the same crappy X rays taken at urgent care instead of taking standing x rays. Prognosis: It's only going to get worse over the years. Me: Well...Duh. I already knew that and I really don't need to pay you to tell me what I already knew. But, I am trying to get some relief now because exercising is near impossible outside of a pool.

So, today I am just griping and venting and giving arthritis a big wave with one finger. You can guess which one. But, I will be my cheery self tomorrow. I am just sulking today. But I am grateful for the existance of this group where I can vent and people understand what I'm going through.
