    Well, it is now three weeks since the first sign of whatever it is I have. Currently, I have improved significantly but the doctors still can’t name the issue nor have a solution.

    So, my left ankle - the swelling has gone down to where I can wear a sock and sneakers (same as the right) but where the swelling has gone down the area feels hard and solid and sore to touch. Movement is a little stiff and the top of the ankle is slightly red. It still feels like there is pressure there. Left knee aches slightly and I walk with a slight limp with the area of my leg from the knee to the ankle tight and a little tender.

    My right ankle feels much better, with no swelling and some limitation of movement and a slight ache.

    Right hand as of today feels like I have arthritis - the index finger and middle finger are sore to bend. A panadeine helps the pain stay away for most of the day and I must admit that I had two this morning and since they ahve worn off the pain in not as bad as it was when I awoke.

    I had more tests on Wednesday for Gout and Inflammation but the doctor was away until Monday to tell me the results! Ahhh! If there is no improvement by Monday I am going to demand an ultrasound or x-ray on the ankles to have a look!

    Please continue to pray for me as it is getting depressing and I have moments of absolute grief that this is still ongoing and painful. It does help me understand what other people may go through for other illnesses. Shalom!
