I had a mild case of OA in both thumb joints. Then, I turned my ankle ever so slightly, that I kept on going. When I sat down that night I saw my ankle was very swollen. I did the ice, heat ***etc. I went to my doctor (oops 1 of his PA's that are crazier than batshit. She felt around with her fingers and said I had a sprain or a strain. And, continue what I was doing. No relief. I saw 5 different doctors in 1 year. I couldn't even think of going to the grocery store, especially Costco. I finally read about a local doctor who does ankle replacements. I knew I didn't need that, bit I figured he knew feet really well. I went to him and he ordered an MRI, he was the 1st doctor out of 5 that ordered an MRI. I had the MRI and the radiologist wrote the wrong report. Dr. Clancy, looked at the MRI's himself and saw that 1 tendon going down from my ankle was torn (there are 3) and my foot was totally unstable. He did arthroscopic surgery to reattach the tendon and cleaned out some debris, that I assume were by products of cartilage. The weird thing is that I got severe arthritis pain in BOTH feet, which I never had before. Then, I got arthritis in both feet. When I mentioned it to him, he said it's bilateral. If you have it in 1 foot, you'll get in the other. The operation on a joint can do that. He gave me cortisone shots in both feet and luckily I got home before that kicked in, bc I couldn't put any weight on my feet bc the crystals were too big to go into where ever they were supposed to go. The next morning I was pain free.
I was not vaccinated for C19. My son & his wife got 2 shots of PFIZER in April 2020. I was sheltering in a beautiful place with my 2 dogs and I caught C19 from my son (who has no children and probably never will) who had the 1st break through case I've heard of. My case was very mild, bc I had a phone consultation with Dr. Zev Zelanko and he told me that I should take the HCQ + Z pack +zinc, vitamins C & D3, then Quercentin bc the Jab would make my arthritis worse. The medicine was at my local pharmacy the next morning. But, slowly my arthritis is worse than ever. Dr. Z died of the rarest form of cancer-tumors in his heart.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
