This weblog was started when I was a much younger man, and temporarily sedentary, suffering from an acute ankle problem. It resulted from a combination of the ankle injury from the 2002 car crash, and “overuse” from running more than 2,000 miles per year. This post goes back to more than 17 years ago.
Having returned to a regular running schedule last year, my weak ankle’s trouble has become a chronic condition. Ice packs, along with wobble board and balance pad exercises, aren’t enough anymore. I’ve filled out an online form requesting an appointment with an orthopedic group, and in the meantime my leg is back in the immobilizing boot.
