@LilyoftheValley @Wave @PinCushion I went to the doctor today after getting an MRI two days ago and it turns out I have achilles tendonitis they gave me a steroid shot and physical therapy for 6 weeks twice weekly, we’re hopeful I won’t need surgery but only time will tell

Edit: @Happy_H was wanting updates too

Very true @Wave I’m still scared and worried though what we’re doing might not work and that’s scary for me

Good luck! I’m glad you’re getting help though. Maybe with the PT you’ll be ok.

I’m glad they know what it is. Sometimes, I think just having someone able to put a name to what you’re feeling is a relief. I hope your therapy goes amazingly, and you’re able to heal.

Thanks @jukebox so far I got a shot and need physical therapy so hopefully that helps

Thanks @Happy_H I’m kinda tired after everything today

That’s a perfectly normal response. Just hang in there and do the best you can to follow medical advice and it should all turn out ok in the end.

Thanks @LilyoftheValley I’m trying to do as told but today my foot felt so good out of the boot I spent hours out of it and walked around… I hope I didn’t cause any damage by walking around

I hope you didn’t cause damage too. Are you afraid to tell your dr you feel better out of the boot?

@LilyoftheValley no it’s supposed to, he gave me a steroid shot today so I should be feeling better but I don’t think I’m supposed to be out of my boot much
