Ankle weirdness

Maybe your Mrs has sussed out the hot chick at work and it is she who is doing the voodoo thing ? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

I have a similar problem with my wrist, (in my case its called called Keinbox disease). Basically it means the lunate in the wrist is crumbling from the inside of the bone out. Ive had a few ops on it but it is notoriously difficult to heal. Literally I went from benching 140kgs one Friday afternoon in 2003 (never had any sprains or knocks to my wrist) to not being able to even do one pressup with my right wrist the next day while warming up before a game. I went to a heap of specialists who all told me different things before seeing a hand surgeon in Derby who operated. The bizzare thing though is my wrist while it is still abit stiff and sore sometimes has actually repaired itself and knitted back together to the point where (while I still cant do a pressup) I can bench heavy weigths again. The official verdict is wear and tear so I geuss it has come about after years of whacking hard things/people and beoing stomped on in footy.

Nick, where on the heel is the pain - is it right at the back on the sides? Also, try forcibly dorsiflexing the ankle - i.e. put your foot up on 1 step then push down through the heel to flex the top of the foot up (like a calf stretch). Does that cause a sharp needling pain on the sides of the heel? If so I think I know what it is.

Don't worry RB - your country will be a little star on our flag one day, then we can all be convicts together <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /><br />

Nope - no pain in the heel. Stretches my tight calf like a bitch, but the heel only responds to direct pressure, and then only when I have the foot on the ground. If I press down with my finger where it hurts, it doesn't hurt. Might just be some bruise thingy.<br />

Going to see a chiro tomorrow night. -

:nta See that sounds similar to my situation - its not that the leg can't take weight. It can for certain activities and especially working in tandem with the other ankle. Just that for the one-out standing on one foot its poked - like that is just the wrong position to ask it to operate properly, but for everything else its fine. Will see what the chiro says tomorrow re: nerve issues. -
Saw the chiro tonight - the one recommended by another therapist and by Mrs the Aussie. If I'd known she was that hot I would have seen her before anyone else <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> Mid 20s, 5'9", in very fine shape. She can manipulate my skeletal systems anytime.<br />
<br />
Got all my history and then did some tests - similar to what the physio did, but in different ahem positions <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> The difference was pretty interesting e.g. rather than do some tests with me standing up or lying flat, she made me sit certain ways and then tried them. Gave slightly different results to the physio which makes me wonder. :nta<br />
<br />
Her conclusion: Get a CT scan before anything else, because she's thinking root nerve compression and doesn't want to crack any bones (gulp) until she's sure how to go about fixing it. So back to the good doctor tomorrow, CT requisition in hand. Results should be off to the chiro tomorrow and then we'll see.<br />
<br />
A point I feel the need to make: its very hard to answer the question "does that hurt" when you can simultaneously see a gorgeous woman's black lace g-string peeking out from the top of her pants AND cleavage in the same shot, the only answer is "yes... yes it hurts a lot" -

Yes - well done you Oirish.
We'll know more once the CT scan is underway. They should fit me in tomorrow.<br />

Ha, I have the same thing in my neck and traps caused by bouts of scrummaging or weights. Can get quite acute pain in thes down my left trap and around the left hand side of my neck down to about C7. My C5 and C6 discs are compressed and the nerve gets pinched now and then.. -
I pinched a nerve once in my lower back when I sneezed! Was rolling up out of bed one morning and sneezed just as my spine was at its most vulnerable. It was Christmas morning a couple of years back and there were no physio/chiro centres open in the area until New Year. By then it had settled down. Might be related :nta
