So I went to see the orthopedist today--thanks very much to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sweetmmeblue. She came and gave me a ride over to Davis Square even though she ended up a few minutes late for Major Massage.
To my surprise, they put me in a boot. Which is heavy and kind of awkward but it certainly does make sure that I don't move that tendon.
Diagnosis is tendonitis in the tendon running right behind my ankle bone. There is some concern about the fact that the bone itself is a bit tender to the touch as well as the pereoneal tendon but the X-rays don't show any sign of a compression fracture. So they are going with the tendonitis, putting me in the boot for a couple weeks and sending me to physical therapy after it has had a complete week of rest.
We shall see how it goes. I wasn't thrilled with the idea, but as he put it, I can deal with a few weeks of inconvenience now or deal with problems all summer... Hopefully by the end of June I will be in much better shape.
