An mentioned in my profile bio, I am a track athlete. I rolled my ankle about three years ago (junior year of high school) during hurdle drills. After a week or two of RICE, (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) my coaches had me back on the track to compete at a crucial meet. We barely won that meet by 7 points! Anyways, I started feeling pain in my achilles tendon area during practice so I went to my doctor, and he diagnosed me with achilles tendinitis. My "achilles" had been hurting for the next three years and I've seen about three other doctors whom all diagnosed me with achilles tendinitis. Finally, the fifth doctor diagnosed me with os trigonum syndrome. This diagnosis sounded like the actual culprit, because my MRI scan displayed that my achilles tendon was perfectly healthy. Now I'm here, waiting to get surgery.
Before the
surgery, I've been doing a lot of research because I wanted to
understand what I will be going through and what type of pain I will be
feeling. Frankly, a lot of the blogs and forums that I've been reading
did not answer my questions. So I decided to create my own blog and try
to describe as much as I can to you guys. I am obviously not a great writer, because my main objective for this blog is to get to the point, rather than writing about what I did throughout the day. I hope you guys find this blog helpful.
