Thanks to a few combat injuries, I have two bum ankles and can't wear really high heels. 3 inch is my max. So, I have quite a collection of 2 to 2 1/2 inch pumps that I so love. Anyway, back in January I returned from a long road trip. Was loaded down with a full backpack, a 25" suitcase and a packed briefcase. Took a nasty spill lugging that cargo up a flight of stairs. Slammed my hip on a concrete step.
Was sore for a while, had an xray to make sure nothing broke. After about 2 months the pain faded, but never really went away. Came back 6 weeks ago with a vengeance. Extreme pain, wakes me up at night, mornings are tough. Seems whatever I did sparked chronic SI joint pain. Heels of any height make the pain unbearable. So does walking, standing and cycling. Capstone was today when my leg rolled from beneath me - like it just decided to quit.
So for now I am grounded. Have to stay off my feet much as possible, on steroids for pain, doing PT, etc. MRI scheduled for late October. Candidly, I'm not concerned about dressing and heels. Just hoping to regain my health. Dress or drab.
