Apparently I've got some chipped and floating bone pieces as well as arthritis. Was given a steroid injection in the ankle, which was damn painfull I can tell you. According to the Doc, this will give me about five weeks or so of pain free walking, but two days of sheer hell, before that. He's spot on so far!
Next stage is a light general anesthetic and key hole stuff to remove the bones peices and blow out any other crap in there. Plus more steroids to help the arthritis.
Hopefully this will mean that I can take my place on the Valley turf, assuming it all goes ahead as planned, but after that and further down the line, it seems I will have to have my ankle bones fused to prevent permanent and crippling pain.
Which is nice ;-/
Legacy of an active but injury prone football career I'm afraid.
