AVN Talus
I’m 27. Healthy weight and activ. Went to a new doctor last week and brought X-rays I’ve gotten done over the last few years. She dx me with AVN in my talus. I’m just in mourning and waiting on the MRI… I ordered a boot that’s supposed to offload my foot 50%
prior to this I was dx with plantar fasciitis by two diff drs. Both occasions being when they saw “nothing wrong” w the respective x-rays. I left those appointments feeling crazy and questioning if there was actually something wrong w me.
Here’s the weird thing. I wouldn’t say I’m in pain. Just DISCOMFORT. Like there isnt enough room in my foot. Like my foot is creaky and my machine body needs some oil! Like I want to push it inside out. I can feel stuff in my foot. Lots of impingement between my foot bones. sometimes my toes have a delayed movement or they lock up but eventually the range of motion is there. It’s uncomfortable being still. It’s super frustrating and I’m aware of it 24/7. Like there are pieces of something in my foot. When my move those pieces slip through the toe bones. Sometimes my ligaments also feel twisted around my calf.
Is this typical of AVN in your talus ?????
When I’m walking I have instability. Now that I know another sensation I might also be feeling could very well be my leg bones pressing on soft bone I am just grossed out.
I’m wondering what is the hard stuff between my foot bones though/// I suspect it’s fibrous tissue…. will it show in the MRI???? Is it possible that’s not related to the suspected AVN???
I said to the new doctor, I’m here because my foot just feels plain wrong and also it feels like there’s stuff in it. At the last doctor, I thought I had cuboid displacement. He said no. Since then my range of motion has increased tenfold bc I’m CONSTANTLY stretching trying to dissolve this hard stuff I feel. I’m just not sure what to do.
I’m depressed because I walk everywhere. I recently got into rollerblading trying to STRENGTHEN my leg in a low impact way. …. Well yeah I’ve since taken a break since the diagnosis. I’m having so many emotions over it.
What do you guys think? Does this sound like AVN?
