I have had a throbbing, occasional pain just above my right ankle, on the outside of the leg, for a couple of years now. Probably screwed it up somehow doing a Susan G. Komen 3-Day or training for one or something. The pain comes and goes and can be pretty intense at times.
I finally saw a doctor about it and got X-rayed (they found nothing out of the ordinary) and wound up going to sports medicine and a rehab gym. Today the sports medicine people gave me an injection of some anti-inflammatory or another, right in the center of the pain in what they told me was a nerve cluster of some kind. I knew they had the spot dead center because as the needle went in and they began to inject whatever it was, the pain went THROBBA THROBBA in protest.
So I’m home now, sitting here working, and wasn’t expecting anything unusual. Turns out “unusual” is in the cards for today, as just now when I was talking to Carole on the phone I suddenly found myself going “HOLY F___, ARGH, F___, F____” and so on, right in Carole’s ear. Far from vanishing as the anti-inflammatory took effect, the pain was back with a vengeance… but this time as much more of a sharp, stabbing pain than had formerly been the case.
Yay!
It’s stopped for now and I sure as heck hope it doesn’t come back.
