Well I didn't get good news about the MRI. My condition is worse than I thought. I actually have a law suit if I had money I would. I have been left to suffer these past 7 years. My former foot and ankle specialist didn't know what was wrong, and this new doc. who did the MRI could not figure that out.
I have torn achellies tendon, torn post tibial tendon, this pushed the heel bone outward and colapsed the ankle. No wonder I have been in pain. I have major surgery on May 2nd, to re-build the foot structure. It isn't the leg bone, or the foot bone, it is the structures that support the foot that colapsed. After three weeks no weight bearing, he will fuse my toe joint. Can't replace that as the failure rate is too high. fusion is best option. then it is 4-6 weeks in a walking cast, followed by intense PT. My summer is shot. thats just for the one ankle. He doesn't want to investigate the other foot, until we finish fixing this one. To tell you all the truth, after going through the two cervial fusions, I am feeling sick to my stomach about this. Very queezy finding this out. I know I needed to know what was wrong, but I wish it wasn't this serious. Why can't I just get a cold or something, why is it with me everything has to be a major deal. Feeling overwhelmed, depressed and scared. I will need you all, no quesiton about that. Gotta get a hold of my emotions right now, maybe I need a good cry. ginnie
