[QUOTE="Languagelearner, post: 2229707, member: 519777"] Well, someone else will give you a more informed reply, but one of my problems at the moment is what I thought was a long and stubborn sprained ankle - although there was no sprain incident, I hadn't even knocked it. After testing at 48 on blood sugar (results of the 2nd test are due tomorrow or wednesday), I thought it might be neuropathy. then I noticed the pain stopped in the ankle, and then it was toes, and then it was the side of the foot, and then it was the other side of the foot, and then it was the shin, and now back to the ankle. So this foot pain has been ongoing two or three weeks so far. At one point, I could only move around the house (eg go into the kitchen, or get up out of bed) with a walking stick. And I had a high-carb day as an experiment, and sure enough my ankle started hurting much worse, and now I've done keto for a few days, the ankle pain is much less. I've put an ankle support from Boots on the ankle, to try to avoid pooling of fluid there. The ankle support can be put on in two ways - either with the long bit covering most of the foot, or with the long bit up the shin, and as the pain moves around I've changed the way the ankle support is on. Ibuprofen makes no difference at all. Icing the foot also makes no difference at all - as I think it is not fundamentally a sprained ankle. Maybe you should get an ankle support and keep it on most of the time? Or a compression sock (only not too tight, but with some compression). I think my ankle will remind me not to have carbohydrates, as I really don't want to crawl everywhere. I should add that the doctor prescribed me Folic Acid for a B9 deficiency. [/QUOTE]
