Now that I have a rough sense of what is wrong, I need to see a doctor.

The likely (Web MD) culprits in order of likelihood are ruptured achilles, strained achilles, sprained ankle, broken ankle, bruise (or contusion), and more. From soccer this week, my ankle has the following symptoms: difficulty moving joint, stiffness or decreased movement, tenderness to touch, unable to bear weight, and weakness. The well designed and easy to use website features the symptom checker, which will help you understand what is potentially wrong before you seek out the help of an expensive out of network doctor (all mine are!).įor the case of this post, and not because I like to kvetch, I’ll tell you my ailment.

I just received a notice from my health insurer that my premiums would likely be increasingly by 11% this year…11%! This doesn’t just make me mad, it makes me want to get even! Time to use the power of the internet to interact with healthcare and actually use my insurance more efficiently!Īs you already know, the first place to start when something is wrong with you, or a loved one, is WebMD.
