I had some special injections to my knee for arthritis that helped smooth things out and improve pain and motion. It was expensive but my insurance company paid for it (well they paid the usual 80 per cent). I asked about having the same treatment for my ankle arthritis and they flat refused to pay. What's up with that? Can I fight it? 1 year 12 weeks ago 218
Do you think they will ever approve the use of injections of rooster combs into the ankle for arthritis? It worked great for both my knees but when I asked about using it for my ankle arthritis I was told the FDA hasn't approved it for that type of use yet. How long will I have to wait? 1 year 12 weeks ago 525
I'm on the defensive team of my high school football squad. The coach wants us to wear a lace-up ankle brace during practice. I'm embarrassed to say I don't really know how to put it on or wear it. Does it go over or under the sock? How do I know if it is tight enough? I don't know exactly what type of brace it is to tell you. It's black with the letters DONJOY printed sideways on the front. 1 year 15 weeks ago 278
My older brother played football through high school and college. He always wore lace-up ankle braces and swore by them. Being the younger brother out to prove something, I have ignored his advice but secretly wonder if he's right. Should I be wearing these braces? I haven't injured myself yet but I'm only a sophomore in high school so far. 1 year 15 weeks ago 211
One morning two months ago, I woke up with a stiff ankle. Before I knew it, the dang thing was locked up tight. The doctor is calling it a mysterious case of "frozen ankle." Have you ever heard of such a thing? 1 year 25 weeks ago 697
