honestly this is extremely insightful! i am probably going to see if i can get an MRI of my ankle/leg since i wasn’t aware that x-rays probably wouldn’t help me figure out what the problem is.

on the topic of IBS, i did find the study interesting and honestly i don’t really have pain anywhere else aside from my ankle that spreads up to my leg. i only once had back issues but that was because i had to admitted into hospital and i didn’t have energy to move so my back muscles ended up tightening. however that was in november and im all good now!
