Patient Comments: Ankle Pain and Tendinitis - Treatments
What treatments were effective for your ankle pain and tendinitis?
Comment from: laurenchip, 25-34 Female (Patient)
Published: March 07
I don't know what I have I'm still waiting to be diagnosed. I've had a bad ankle for a couple of years now. At first it just kept clicking, was very swollen, and just didn't feel right. A couple of months ago I sprained it when I slipped on a wet floor. I now have terrible pain, more clicking, and I wear a support -- but no help and I'm just fed up of it. I'm waiting to have another MRI done to see if there is any ligament damage, but before this none of the doctors have shared what they think it is and it is quite frustrating.

My ankle started hurting about 5 years ago. I operate heavy equipment and pumping pedals for 14 or more hours a day in stiff boots made it start hurting. The doctor couldn't find anything wrong. He said I was bow-legged and that I need to wear orthotics. Then he released me. I still suffer. I haven't been able to work as an operator in a year. I only lasted 3 weeks then I'm uninsured, so I have no way to see a doctor and with no way to see a doctor it will hard to determine if I am disabled.
