Maria;
Thank you for the reply; I am not able to walk much at all, except around the house. Driving to appointments is hard because we live in a rural area, and it is a 45 minute drive just to get to physical therapy. I use an ankle wrap, but walking anywhere around where we live is on uneven surfaces; trails or fields or uneven gravel, which is hard on the ankle. I used to walk a mile or two daily with my dog, and now it is a struggle to even get anywhere. Did you do PT? Did ultrasound help? I wear night splints when I am in bed, until the pain makes me rip them off. I have been struggling with foot pain for years, but I never had ankle problems like this. Walking was about the only exercise I could do, and now I am housebound. I have to get to the chiropractor twice a week to manage my neck pain/headaches, upper and lower back pain, so I have to be able to drive.
