Never knew this kind of pain 🥺

Good evening beautiful humans, happy Monday! How was your day? I’m doing an evening blog, wasn’t quite ready this morning 😕. Thank you for stopping by my blog, come on in……….

My name is Arnetta and I’m 42 years old and up until 2 months ago, I’ve never truly been physically hurt! Well, that all changed on 4th of July when I played kickball. Apparently I kicked the ball the wrong way and cracked a bone slightly in my ankle. I haven’t been the same since 😕.

At the time I didn’t realize I hurt myself. My foot didn’t start hurting or turn black and blue until 2 days later. As I matter of fact when I went to the regular doctor, they told me I was fine. The nurse practitioner only gave me ibuprofen and a doctors note for one day off from work 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️. She made me think I was overreacting.

However she gave me a referral for a orthopedic doctor. I think it was just to cover herself though. I told her, I thought something was cracked in my foot 😐. You know how nurses and doctors don’t believe women, especially black women 😒.

I made an appointment with a specialist and as soon as I went; he told me there’s something wrong with my ankle 😕.

I’m literally experiencing the worse pain of my LIFE! In addition to ankle being sprained, I have something called an ankle collision. I also have a fracture. Mine you, they did an x-ray and my ankle was still blue and purple when I went to the doctor. I also showed them pictures. They still tried to brush me off 😒.

I explained to them my excruciating pain. They didn’t seem to care. Not sure how I feel about that 🤔. This pain is something else. It’s like my ankle is burning. It never stops hurting. Not sure what to do. Have you guys experienced a stress fracture? Do you have any advice?
