Swollen ankle, sister’s wedding, off pred | Arthritis Information

Share
 

My ankles have been inflamed/swollen for weeks/months now, but this morning it was even worse, possibly prompted by walking back and forth from the restaurant to the comedy club last night at my sister's bachelorette party (at least we had fun!!).  When I woke up, my left ankle was significantly bigger than my right (couldn't get a shoe on), and both were more swollen than usual for the morning.

The left ankle is starting to come back down to the level of the right, but they're still pretty ugly and uncomfortable.  I've got my left shoe off and my foot up (under my desk).

I finally got off the pred last week, but I'm wondering with my sister's wedding tomorrow, if I should take a hit for all this inflammation?  I'm not even sure it would help, as my ankles were still pretty swollen at 20 mg/day.

Thoughts?  Other suggestions?
