In which I whine.

I'm actually a little scared. What I initially thought was a twisted, swollen ankle from yesterday has become two very swollen feet and lower legs. They hurt a little, they're so swollen and if I bend my toes, the skin pulls scarily tight ( Read more... )

Just trying to help a little with my healthcare background... And I have to preface it by saying THIS IS NOT BINDING ADVICE, ETC ETC LEGAL JARGON ( ... )

Hey. I moved to the bed so that my feet weren't hanging down while sitting in a chair, but it hasn't helped much yet.

1. I don't remember hurting my ankle. I just assumed I had because I noticed the right ankle swelling first.
2. Yeah, from the knees down.
3. Nothing out of the ordinary that I can think of. I drank a Gatorade today, which I don't usually, but it doesn't seem like that would make much of a difference.
4. Not that I've noticed. Definitely not to this extreme.
5. Bounces back, if it indents at all. It's really tight.
6. Same temp, as far as I can tell. Maybe a little cooler.
7. The lower part of my shins above my ankles are a little red, but that's about it.
8. Nothing ever diagnosed, but those all run in my family.
9. No medications. I've taken a few Ibuprofen today, that's it.

[insert health disclaimers here etc etc] So hard when all I have are interwebz and not an actual person/problem to look at! LOL ( ... )
