Nuts. The pain is back.
After a glorious totally pain-free week, first there were a few twinges, then more, then longer-lasting pain in the left ankle. Things are still much better than 3 weeks ago, and there are periods of an hour or two pain-free, but clearly we're not there yet.

Marina will be in touch with the physiatrist on Monday, and predicts there will be another cortisone shot. The effect may be cumulative.

Well, at least the cause is now known, and the ultimate solution (more surgery) is also known.
