Foot Dr.

Today I went to a foot Dr., one day after the Biathlon. I had this scheduled for 4 weeks but I've known I have a problem.



I feel a sharp pain under the my ankle ball joint. It's typically happens when I increase miledge to 25+ Miles a week.

Now I first went to a general Dr., who took a lot of time a moved my foot around and poked in areas and did an x-ray. He concluded I needed to take Ibuprofen. Not a great answer.

The foot Dr. office started with a nurse getting an x-ray before he saw me. He came in asked where it hurts and told me I have a pronation problem with a longitudal tear in a ligament. WHAT!?!? But he didn't even look at my shoes to see the wear. He told me my options of an MRI, a shot to encourage rapid healing to the ligament or an orthepedic and then stood up to walk out. I rattled off a few more questions, but we were basically done. Nurse came back in to get my foot profile for the orthopedic.

This guy better be good.
