Saw the orthopedic surgeon yesterday.
He didn't like how swollen my ankle was/is.
Got a RX for Meloxicam - generally used for people with arthritis.
I haven't started taking it yet - thought I'd give it a couple of days to see if there is any change, as I hate taking RX drugs...especially after I read all the potential side effects etc. Hmmm would I rather have a swollen ankle or a bleeding ulcer, or a heart attack...

You are probably doing too much - start slowly - a few hours a day - if you see swelling, do fewer hours the next day, etc. and put your leg up...

I agree with Dr. Rhonda except I would add that you need to take your meds!!!
