I know where you're coming from. I shattered my heel three years ago
and the end result was having my subtalar joint fused. I have limited
movement in my ankle now and the single joint I have is crunchy at
times. Every time I ask my ankle to do something strenuous, I get
that "am I going to break it again?" feeling. I was told by my
surgeon that the only way to resolve the "crunchy" feel was
arthroscopic surgery to clean out the joint. No, thanks. I've had
enough surgery on my ankle to last me a lifetime.
Recently, I had a rare complication of diabetes (high glucose levels)
in which I had grand mal seizures, most likely non stop over a eight
hour period. When I was transported to the hospital, I was strapped
to the stretcher and continued to have seizures in which my arms were
pulling against the restraints. Now both of my shoulders have that
"crunchy" thing going on. I never had that before.
So anymore, riding my bike is about the only thing I dare do. It's
pain free, unless I ride too long and it's helping me get fit again.
