Fine all day, pain all night.
I just don’t seem to understand…. A couple weeks ago I go out with the boy to play golf. We have some drinks (beer, shots, seltzers) maybe a dog at the turn and then we went to a steakhouse after the round. All bad I know, not the smartest idea. I got a flare up obviously, But ever since then, I haven’t been able to shake this flare up. It’s in my right ankle, feels like a really bad ankle sprain. I immediately changed my diet, started fasting and drinking as much liquids as I can, tart cherry juice, celery juice, but mostly water but I’m in this vicious cycle. I’ll wake up and be in pain, so I drink drink drink and I’ll feel fine by the time I get to work, but I’m a bartender and on my feet for 6-8. I’ll feel fine, but being on it so much by the 6th hour I feel the pain creeping back. By the time I get home, foot is hella swollen and I start limping. Once I’m in bed there’s not comfortable way to sleep and I’m pumping ibuprofen all night. Do I need to take time off work to not agitate it, rest until I get better? I’m over this shit. I’m 39 and in good shape, i always watch what I eat but I can’t live like this anymore. I don’t have my medicine cause I just recently moved from SF to Vegas. Anyone got something for me?
