Finally saw the doc today about my aching ankles. My self-diagnosis via the powers of the internet was that I had tendonitis in both ankles. As usual, I was wrong.
I have stress fractures in both ankles. And I have to wear boots on both feet for at least the next three weeks. They are ginormous and look completely ridiculous. The doc said he's never seen someone jack up both feet at the same time from running before, and the guy that had to build them for me said, "are you sure you need two? We don't ever put anyone in two boots!"
Yes, I am a total dork, and it is embarrassing to have to walk around in these things--especially when I don't even have a cool story to tell.
One of the snarky secretaries said, "so that wasn't caused by your stripper shoes?" Yeah, just because I wear heels instead of clunky clogs circa 1995 does not render them "stripper shoes."

Oh, no. You poor thing! Good luck for fast healing...and less bitchy secretaries.
That must be so frustrating! How long do you have to wear them? heels are way better than clogs anyday!
Oh that totally sucks. :( An acquaintance of mine got a stress fracture running a half-marathon and ended up on crutches for 6 months, it was awful. I seem to remember something about her finding out she had low bone density, the doc believing it was linked to not getting enough calcium, etc. when she was pregnant and breastfeeding. Sucks.
Hope your ankles get better and you can get back in your stripper shoes soon!
Hope you recover quickly! :-)
