That's what I have. After I went to the chiro today, I was walking down the street to get lunch. As I took a step off the pavement into the street, my left ankle completely gave out, and the next thing I knew I was on my left knee facing the street. Thankfully no cars were coming, and a very nice woman gave me her hand to help me up. Roughed up my pants a bit a little knee damage, but more scared than anything. I was able to walk it off with my ankle. I have had weak ankles for as long as I can remember. Whenever I run my ankles give out and I go crashing to the floor. One time when I was about 15 I was running down the hallway at home and my ankle gave out, and my other leg was mid-air and since I couldn't put the other foot down, my foot crashed into the wall, hitting a beam of course, and smash went my little toe. I was on crutches for a few days. It's always fun being me! My ankle hasn't given out that blatantly in a while, so I was definitely caught off guard.
Other than that, my chiro/massage was nice, and I'm going back on Friday because my neck and back are still so tight. I heard back from Mark Seed ( http://www.tsca.edu/site/about/faculty/ ), the acupuncture college guy, and I have an appointment on Thursday, 11 December at 6.30pm. I didn't speak to him directly but he said on my VM that it is an hour for first visit, and $135. Subsequent appointments are $120. He is located on WEA and 79th Street so it should not be too difficult to get there unless traffic is v. bad, as there is a bus that goes along 57th Street.
I am still not sure which person to go to, him or the other lady I had spoken to yesterday. I think I will try him first and see how he is. He does sound like he knows what he's talking about since he runs an acupuncture college and has written text books and articles. I will keep you posted.
