Two nights ago I woke up around 1 am with some severe shooting pains in my left ankle. I was surprised and it was hard to get back to sleep. The pain was coming every couple of minutes and would flare up lasting several seconds. This seemed like it was part of my ongoing problem with my arthritic pinched nerve and hip problems but it was a new and different aspect of it. At one point a little later I laid in bed and looked up ankle pain problems on my tablet and did narrow down some of the pain issues to my current problems. This was just a new aspect of it and could probably only last a day or so. There were recommendations of icing the ankle which I did today.
I've also focused more on my exercises and the need to strengthen my leg and hip muscles.
We were out for dinner last night at Coles and there were a few times sitting in the booth when my ankle started throbbing again but overall it wasn't too bad.
I am concerned with driving down to Philly next week to see Katie and the kids. I'm glad my leg problems have all been my left leg and not my driving right leg. If it was my right leg I would probably not want to do any long driving.
