Seriously???

Well, for those of you who have been following my blog, you have learned that I have been going to Curves. I’ve been going pretty regularly for almost a month now. It’s going well. Or so I thought…

Last Tuesday, after working out for a few minutes, I noticed my ankle hurting. I had been on my feet ALL day the day before, only sitting down to eat, so I figured I had just overworked it. I quit the workout a little sooner then normal, when my ankle got to hurting too bad. I didn’t go in the next day, because I wanted to give my ankle a rest. Then on Thursday, we headed out of town, so my total Curves days were only 2 that week.

I didn’t do much “exercising” while we were out of town, so my ankle had plenty of time to “rest up”.

Yesterday morning, being the first day back to Curves in a week, I was quite happy to be at it again. But guess what??? Yup…my ankle was hurting again, when I finished. HOW ANNOYING!!

It’s not swollen, it just hurts. And the more I use it, the more it hurts. So Trevor said I probably should go to the doctor just to rule out any thing we may not want to deal with. So that is where I went this morning.

And the result??

Tendonitis….(in normal terms…overworked tendons and muscles in weak ankles) Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but at least it’s not worse. So the only way to “fix” this is to “RICE” it. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevate.

So hopefully between “RICE” and the ankle brace I need to wear, I will be back to normal soon. Doc says I just need to take it easy and not overwork it, if possible. Curves needs to be taken slow until I have no more pain. So hopefully, in a couple of weeks, things will be back to normal. Guess I’ll just do weight lifting and sit ups for now. =)
