Osteoarthritis

Ron went to a foot specialist Friday to get his ankles checked out. Ron has REALLY flat feet! So bad that it seems like he has a reverse arch in his feet! It's been really bothering him lately so he decided to go to the dr. He took a look at him and diagnosed him with osteoarthritis. It's so bad, the doctor told him he has the ankles of a 70 year old man! He goes in Monday, the 30th, for an MRI and will get some orthodics to try out for awhile. (He's tried them before, but he's either broken them 'cause his feet are so flat, or they don't work.) Plan B is surgery where they will break his foot and re-create an arch. Sounds like fun, eh? No word yet as to any meds, but I'm sure they will know more after the MRI. Wish us luck!
