yes i know my feet need lotion and a pedi !! I am VERY aware of this !! but i dont have time latley !!
Anyways !!! my left ankle has been hurting everyday for about a year now ! it just gets worse and worse !! it hurts when I stand on it ( but obviously i have to) it swells up withing minutes of waking up in the morning and it throbs so bad all day long. the onlt time it doesnt hurt is when i have my left leg crossed over my right knee and I just let it dangle there and curve in ( like pigeon toed)
my shitty Dr took an Xray , never even called me back ... i cant go to a different Dr.... no point in going to the ER they are just gonna give me more ibuprofen and tell me to make a follow up.
it fukin HURTS !!!
I have osteoarithrits ... im not sure if its from that or something else it hurts in the front on the left...if i touch it ,its tender but if i suck it up and press you can feel a lump in there ....like hard but squishy ( like grape sized and consistancy)
anywhere here is my foot

What's your other foot look like?
And..... Pain for a year with no follow up pretty much falls on you.
how does it fall on me ? I have been making appointments every month since the pain started. My dr ( that i can not change) does one thing but doesnt continue to look into it any more.. I've had several Xrays, but he never goes back over anything or even mentions anything about them, just schedules another one and continues with nothing ... tells me to take 800 mg of ibuprofen every 4 hours for pain.... if i did id be eatting those every 4 hours and STILL in pain.

Why didn't you stay on top of your doctor? Go make another appt?
I do . matter of fact I have left him 16 messages since my last appt 2 weeks ago asking about my last Xray . I have another appt next week, but i already know whats gonna happen... he will want another Xray ( this will be the 15th xray of the same damn foot)
if i sounds nsotty im not being im sorry just irritated and ready to rip my damn foot off !!!
Go back to your doctor and demand they figure out what is going on! There is no need to continue being in pain if there is something that can be done. It could be so many different things from arthritis, tendonitis, a cyst, etc.
Have you tried anything to ease the pain like using an ace bandage or an ankle wrap when you are walking around? Or use like Icy/Hot or a BenGay on it? My son has problems with his knee and ankle because of his size, he is 6'4 and 275 lbs. He has to wrap it if he walks a lot because of all the pressure on it. I am not saying you are to big because I do not know what the rest of you looks like it's just an idea.
At what age should I tell my son dh is not his bio dad?
