Sounds pretty painful and like you had an overhaul but good! I'll bet Florida's humidity doesn't help a lot some days. My MIL had a bad ankle injury when she was young, lost a lot of bone and then an ankle-foot fusion, resulting in a short leg. Living in Dallas, she always hated the humid days and days of humidity or any barometric changes. With my back and right hip arthritis from a fall from my horse, as I got older, I began to understand how yucky humidity can be on joints and ortho problems. I guess that's one reason I like the high country where there is virtually no humidity and things just seem to hurt less. I feel so much better in the mountains.
