Any of you guys ever have an ankle that makes a loud popping or clicking sound with every step you take while walking or running?
A trip back to PA last week to help my son get organized for his new employment found me hobbling on my right ankle when I woke up on Friday. As a good friend said, "Getting old ain't for sissies."
Sat by a doctor on the airplane trip home. He listened and told me I probably have peroneal subluxation.
I looked at him like his tongue got tied to his bottom lip. "Come again?"
"Peroneal subluxation," he says. "It's when the Peroneal tendon slips out of its grove on the side of your ankle. Often called snapping ankle."
Fin thinks to himself, "You gotta be kidding me? I have an entire season of some of the greatest hunts coming up and now I have some lame ankle issue."
Seeing my doubt to his supposed expertise he suggests, "When you get home, go see a podiatrist. He can tell you in a few minutes."
Fortunately, one of my best friends is a podiatrist, and a fanatic hunter. Unfortunately, he is on vacation until Monday, but will see me that morning.
I still think I was on the plane next to some guy who slept at the Holiday Inn Express the night before and now thinks he has the answers to all the worlds problems.
Just curious if any of you have ever had such a diagnosis. Been trying to work out, in spite of it, but seems to get rather irritated and swells up by morning.
Been doing the Google searches and come up with stuff like this - http://www.coreconcepts.com.sg/mcr/snapping-ankle/
Hoping it is like a headache and goes away after a few days. Wonder if any of you have had it, or know anyone who has. And if so, if they were able to cope with it or if they were able to get over it without too much problem.
For all you guys under 40, I can only warn you. Since turning 40, I feel like some junk vehicle that has a new broken part every week. I used to laugh at guys who warned me of such. I still laugh, but now I laugh because I know how correct they were in their warning to us "young whipper snappers." And I am only 47.
And you guys in your 50s and 60s who are warning me that the 40s are a walk in the park compared to the next two decades, well, I believe all that you say. Teach me to drive a desk for 23 years of my adult working life.
