How my life has changed due to a "sprained" ankle. Calcaneal osteotomy (Dywer procedure), lateral ligament repair (modified Brostrom procedure), arthroscopy, calf lengthening (gastrocnemius slide), arthrodesis, capsulotomy, allograft, peroneal tendon repair, amputation, spinal cord stimulator, testosterone difficiency, full disability.

Day 35 (April 24)
Same story as before. Leg uncomfortable when I first wake up but gets a bit better. This morning it was burning heel pain. Was uncomfortable for most of the day though. By 330 pm, I had to take a norco. It didn't do much so I took another half a pill at 430. It helped for a few hours but pretty uncomfortable again. Left side of foot is really tingling and I'm getting shooting nerve pain. Heel is still burning a bit. Feels like my foot is really hot. Going to try not to take anything. I feel like I'm moving backwards as far as pain.
