Dr. Neighbor Ann weighs in

[susandennis]

My neighbor used to be a gym teacher and is well schooled in athletic injuries and she says that her money is on a giant, around the bone bruise. She showed me were it was. I could not really tell but where she drew with her finger is exactly where it hurts.

She said to elevate it a little, keep ice on it, keep taking the drugs and stay off of it as much as possible and it will get better on its own. She said to watch out for swelling and/or tenderness in my ankle or abdomen but otherwise it just needed to heal.

So, I will let it. I do feel better having her diagnosis.

I've got a couple more hours of work work to do so now I'm going back to it.
