As for the popping sound, I can't tell you exactly what it is. She could try bracing it when she's doing her daily walking while she awaits the MRI and surgery.View Thread

Thanks for your reply!
The orthopedist said that the only other option is to wear a brace most of the time in hope that the ligaments tighten on their own but I have been doing it since April. He said to keep doing it until March of next year. If the ligaments don't tighten, then I'll have to have surgery.
In the mean time, I am wondering if getting a second opinion from a podiatre would help?View Thread







I walked with crutches for the 1st week, then with a cane for the next 5 weeks and 2 months without anything. I never had a cast. 2 days ago the orthopedist prescribed a brace that I have to wear all the time, except when I am home.
The thing is that it's not painful at all, so I never thought that it was that bad.
Anybody, any thoughts on this? Or anybody had anything similar?View Thread
