Ankle injuries are the worst.

I hope you heal quickly and am sending you lots of good healing vibes.
I really feel I was bullied into getting a shot (wasn't cortisone but something similar). I should have been firmer about the whole thing. But, what can I say? Two years, no repeat AND I am running farther now than I was when I hurt my ankle. However, I will stand up for myself in the future. I highly suspect the cause was bad form and incorrect shoes.

Icing was also done for two weeks post injection.
