MRI

I had an MRI on my ankle on Wednesday. I've been having problems with since I got back from my trip. Once the cortisone wore off the pain became unbearable. I went to a new doctor who prescribed physical therapy. When that didn't work he ordered an MRI which I did on Wednesday; it was an experience. The machine was loud but they gave me headphones so I could listen to music. I had to stay completely still for a long time.



On Friday, the doctor called with the results stating that my peroneal tendon was inflamed and there was some scarring. He basically put me on bedrest. I had to wear my walking boot at all times and keep my ankle elevated. I had to ice it twice a day for twenty minutes. I didn't like hearing that but I'd do what I was told because I was tired of dealing with ankle pain.
