So I went to the Dr. today. She thinks tendonitis and maybe plantar faciitis too. I'm still waiting on x-ray results. And I'm off to PT starting Thursday. I'm compiling a list of questions for the PT, including info on insoles. I'm quite happy that she gave me a PT referral. Not only do I want this to heal, I want to know how to prevent it in the future!
A new experience for me today...Pitting Edema! Eeeew! I almost passed out this morning when I pushed on my ankle with my finger for a few seconds and the indentation stayed there...and stayed there, and stayed there. The Dr. didn't seem too concerned about this. But I'm not pushing on it anymore because I am completely grossed out.
I sure hope I can get back on the trainer within a couple weeks...I already feel like I'm getting fat. My ankle is nice and fat but I don't want the rest of my body to follow suit!
Thanks again to everyone for all the great advice and kind words. I'm still a little worried that the x-ray might find something, but I should get those results in the morning.
