So I just ordered some compression socks for my feet because for some odd reason theres swelling around ankles. Apparently I injured them somehow by just walking/exercing or it could be from shoes. Sadly, I've ignored it for months because of pandemic. I was still able to walk and didnt think it was a real problem but the pain has lingered. Finally saw a doc and he said its the tendon or ligaments that have been impacted. Expects me to just stay in bed resting. So damn impossible when you have 2 small kids, and a job. Hoping this works. I feel like this problem will never heal. Fml I hope I dont need surgery at some point. Has anyone had this problem?

Also, I couldn't tell from.how you worded it. Did you mean you walked more before covid was a danger or that you walked more before you personally caught covid?
It really sucks to not know what is going on which is why I'm debating if I should suck it up and get an xray done at an orthopedic.
Did he recommend a PT? Compression socks won't fix the problem, just mask it.
I do feel less stressed w the socks and with new shoes. I think it's helping. My doc told me to take 2 aleaves in morning/night to help with swelling. So Idk what else to do besides see orthopedic for peace of mind I guess.
@melinanae If the hose aren't bothering you and better shoes help, you can go with that for a while. Then when you try to go without and if it returns, see a PT.
Did he do any blood work or ekg? There are a lot of reasons for ankle swelling, it's unusual to bilaterally have an ankle injury you don't remember. I was a rehab director for 15 years and that was never a cause of bilateral ankle swelling that I saw.
😳😳😳do you recommend I see an orthopedic instead? I worry that I may be waiting for too long. I felt the same as far as both feet. I've have bloodwork done as well. Nothing abnormal accept for low iron. No RA, Lupus, or MS. (I was thinking the worse). I do remember walking once for too long one time which did start the pain in ankles. But it was on and off so I believed it will heal. Ugh Idk I'm just worried that I may be aggravating it everytime I walk.
@melinanae I would see an ortho or a PT. You may have a gait deviation or your feet may be everted or inverted and an orthotic in your shoe may help. I just think compression hose is sort of like duct taping the situation, I don't know if it will fix the underlying cause. It's just my two cents! I worked alongside a great DPT (Dr of PT) and he could address so many things to get people moving with less pain.
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Never had covid. I was walking a lot before covid pandemic. I feel like I may have overworked my feet by walking further and longer and probably without proper walking shoes. I dont think I had the proper shoe fit for walking. Then once the ankles felt too sore I decided not to walk that far again. Pandemic hit a few weeks after which didnt allow me to walk at all because I didnt know what the heck was happening in the world lol. Just wondering if I injured it and when I switched shoes, I may have made it worse or something? Not sure at all. Very weird. So I was wondering if maybe I should give it a few more weeks before orthopedic now that I feel less pain with these newest shoes and socks but it worries me that what if there is a fracture and I'm here walking on it some more since theres just no way I can be on bed rest. UGH It's just a mess, I sound like a crazy lady LOL. Thank you for listening though...😊🙏
