My appointment was painless, I got an x-ray which showed minimal arthritis. This was good news. Possibly not achilles but maybe posterior tibia tendonitis. They prescribed an ankle brace, PT (which I probably won't do), and made me a follow up with Dr. Pesut for the 31st. If I'm not better I'll go a hopefully get a shot.

I feel better in the brace.
