My Current Numerous Worries

[helenhoo]

I remember in the summer, some mornings this foot would be slightly stiff first few steps in the morning. Could it be related? I'm going to get emergency appointment tomorrow, but today I'm wearing socks so I can't keep prodding. Obviously not seeing it makes me feel worse because I imagine it'll go dark purple and swollen.

Are you proud of yourself, Rebecca, knowing you might take an emergency appointment from someone in genuine need of it?

[helenhoo]

I'm not proud no, but I know I'll worry until I get seen by a doctor. Appointments have a 3 week waiting list at my surgery as it is.

...and your worry about a very minor issue, comes above people with an emergency ?

[helenhoo]

to me I worry mine is an emergency. Have you had an ankle injury for three weeks that isn't healing?

[BlueIris]

A sore ankle is never an emergency. You're being ridiculous, and you're being selfish, and you're potentially risking the health of others.

Well, it would probably heal if you would quit messing with it. Sad, you are putting your anxiety above people with real illnesses or emergencies.

Have you had an ankle injury for three weeks that isn't healing?

Yes. I've had a bad sprain twice after falling down stairs, self treated and wore foot supports for 6 months. 3 weeks is literally nothing on the scale of things. However, I didn't prod, poke, test, exercise and generally worry it and LET IT HEAL.

A sore ankle is never an emergency.

absolutely, and generally it isn't even a need for a doctor visit.

I've just had a letter, my CBT starts next Tuesday.

I don't remember injuring it though. Only thing is the shoes but don't think that classes as an injury.
