    Hi Anita
    Great to hear from you again.Hope you enjoyed your holiday and come back refreshed.How are things for you now?
    Had posted on the forum (Ron's got a new ankle - Part 3).Had the cast removed last Tuesday.Had bit of a wobbly the next day,but progressing now and walking with more confidence and little pain,albeit with crutches.
    Increasing the weight bearing little by little and ankle movement,sensible lad!

    Hi Ron,

    That's great news glad it's going well.
    I have rung my consultant and asked for an appointment to have the injection. The ankle hurts all the time now and now my knee is playing up on then opposite leg it's difficult to know which one to protect lol!
    Take care,
    Anita.

    Hi Anita
    Sorry your ankle is now hurting all the time,but you can't suffer like you do.I'm sure you are doing the right thing having the injection.
    I know when my ankle hurt I instinctively put more weight on the opposite leg and this did cause pain in both knee and hip on this side.Do you think this could be a contributary factor to your knee pain?
    Hope you get on okay and keep me posted.
    Regards

    Hi Ron,

    Yes I do think the ankle pain has caused the knee problem. As you say you instinctively put the weight on the other side without realising it.
    Hopefully I won't have to wait long for an appointment and if it works and sorts the pain it will sort the knee out. I have an appointment with the rhematology nurse Friday I may ask her for some physio. I have always found ultra sound very good in the past but not sure if you can have it on artifical joints!
    I'll keep you posted.
    Take care, Anita.
