Oh girl!! I can honestly say THAT SUCKS!! That's not even a strong enough word- it is the most painful thing I have ever experienced.
I ride horses very competitively in 50 to 100 mile endurance races. Last season was EXCRUTIATING. The tendonitis in my left ankle started acting up about 6 miles into the last race of the season.. um, not fun. I rode the rest of the 50 miles crying and sick to my stomach. I knew it was that because it happened earlier that year but not as bad, otherwise I would have thought my ankle was broken.
Sorry to go off on me
, I just wanted to say I really feel for you. At least you don't have to use your arm to support your body
