#ankle instability

[lesbian-fig]

When my orthotist told me she’d be ordering me a leather AFO with laces and metal hinges at the joint, I had no idea what to expect. I also couldn’t find a lot of reference pictures online of an AFO that looked like mine. So, now that I have it, I figured I’d share pics so others could see what an articulated Arizona AFO looks like.

My joints are little fire crackers, tiny little pop-its fill my bones with chronic pain and explode em out of place on impact

so my new brace has been on for slmost the whole time for 4 weeks. i have chronically sprained and rolled my ankle, the proneal (or a tendon/muscle near it) tendon is constantly inflammed and sensitive to the touch.

apparently my ankle decided that brace, which is this one:

apparently it isn’t sufficient enough. it has rolled while in it, and slowly inverting my ankle more every time i walk (when ur foot weight turns outward when using it).

this is my original that worked overall but not active compression for my needs:

i decided to buy another thinner compression sleeve, a size down. so i can put that on by itself or under the corset-brace (as i call it):

and you might be wondering (if anyone cares): “why not go to a doctor or specialist?”

-tried that

-was told only to do physical therapy somewhere i couldnt get to

-and even was sent to pain management and they said the same thing without any pain management or medication or suggestions

- (and all info online says physical therapy includes actually giving pain management stuff so i was basically brushed off)

im in the medical field and have a vague idea on what is wrong, and im pretty sure id need surgery to fix this issue. it hurts no matter what i do.

-sleep? if its against anything it hurts and is sensitive. its always warm to the touch.

-i stand, try to stretch it? i cant stretch or rotate it fully compared to the ankle with less sprains.

and even if i do surgery or physical therapy i know this isn’t going to go away. its been sprained repeatedly since 2016.

if anyone read this, thanks for reading my rant.

Looks like I might not get new AFOs this year. Mine are two years old, beat to hell, and no longer fit correctly since I’ve lost weight in my legs. As soon as I met my insurance deductible I started the process to get new ones but they don’t bill until AFO pick up which will be after the new year. Each foot is $2,000 so after the new year once my deductible resets it will cost be about $4,000 that I don’t have. I see the prescribing doctor next week and I’m going to talk to him and see if there’s anything they can do if they could bill insurance now instead or order a lesser brand of brace that can get here sooner see if there is ANYTHING they can do to get this billed in this year and I really hope he can work with me on this. Otherwise there’s such a small window of time to get this done and be covered that idk how I’ll ever be able to get new ones in the next couple years.
