[QUOTE="mx547, post: 1008804, member: 20697"] another old geezer (46) checking in with arthritis. i cased a double a few years ago and it drove my ankle up through my lower leg, destroying the cartilage and splintering the bone. i now have chronic swelling and have to buy a half size larger shoe. for the first couple years, the pain was 24/7 but now it's just occasional. mornings are the worst (if i ever have a house-fire at night, i'm a dead man). i no longer take any pain killers, alleve doesn't seem to do anything for me. now 3 1/2 years later, i've finally started getting some strength back in my ankle and i'm able to ride and race again. it doesn't hurt while riding, i guess the boot offers enough support. my main problem is that my ankle has a very limited range of motion and i have to take my foot off the peg to use the rear brake. so if anyone brake checks me, they're going down! i've recently improved enough that i can stand up and pedal my mountain bike. it's quite an accomplishment for me considering the shape i was in just a few months ago. i honestly thought that i'd never be able to ride again. when i was a kid and was active in sports, i could tell in my knees when it was going to rain. it went away when i became an adult.
