I understand. I “went” until I dropped. I still have that drive even now when my body won’t let me so that is why I advocate. Sometimes I bite off more than I can chew.
Your ankle feels better in the brace because it’s unstable. But give it a break when you are not up and about. That may help with the swelling. Put it up if you have a recliner. I had mine in a brace too before they knew what was wrong with me. 😉

I understand about losing weight to @jeanniem although I will say it may or may not help. Weight helps joint issues not nerve so much.
In reality, losing weight seems to only light the nerves on fire for me but taking the weight of my left knee that needs replaced (but can’t be because of the CRPS) is like a godsend.
Yeah, I know. Plus, the swelling has gone down in my feet since I’ve lost weight.
I’ve lost 13lbs in 12 days. Not bad for someone who can’t NOT eat or move past the chair being a few steps. It can be done!
