double ankle sprain/injury at the same time, tips for getting around?
after 2 months of pain all around my ankle joint that isnt getting better (my ankles are swollen too), i decided to see a specialist orthopedic. he thinks i may have injured ligaments and/or tendons on both ankles... some weeks my ankle seems like it's great and some weeks it's just really weak and hurts even when i'm sitting on a chair.
i did WB xrays on both feet as well as a mri scan on friday on my left ankle and will be going to see him on monday to review the scans. if the left ankle mri has bad news then i'll probably be doing a mri for the right ankle too. no idea what's the issue but i honestly think i might have been walking around on a partial tear which led to more injuries + compensatory injuries on my right ankle 😵💫 a normal sprain would have healed up mostly by now (i've sprained my ankles 5 times in the past)
i wish mri's weren't so costly because 2 months ago the pain was so mild and it definitely got worse! (it got worse, and got better and now its stagnant) i've been homebound for almost two months and so ready to just heal this and carry on with my life, ugh. i suspect my ortho is going to at least put me in a boot of some sort 🥲
anyways, if anyone here has injured both ankles at the same timing, how did you get around without aggravating them? i'm looking at knee scooters and knee crutches but you do kind of need one healthy leg for them. wheelchairs/normal or elbow crutches seem to be the way to go?
