I had arthroscopic surgery on my left ankle a few years ago to remove some loose cartilage. Everything had been fine since then until late last year, when I was subject to spells of extreme pain that was preventing me from putting my weight on the ankle.
MRI revealed that, well, there's missing cartilage on top of the ankle bone, and there is some deterioration in the ankle bone. Doctors told me that I must've done something to injure the weak spot, but other than biking, which really doesn't bother my ankle, I haven't done anything that traumatic to my ankle in the past year....except for that incident that broke my toe....hmmm....
The toe was so painful that I probably didn't notice how hard I came down on my ankle when my foot slammed to the ground. Anyway, this means more surgery, a cast, six weeks or so on crutches, and quite a bit of time off the bike.
