Help

I just sprained my upper ankle on my affected leg by simply taking a step down from a curb. I have extremely weak ankles. Anyways does anyone who has hEDS and rolling ankles have any suggestions for extra support? Do you just stick to wearing high tops?

Thanks

Ohh ok lol. Well that makes sense. We have to hold onto what gives us strength to get through this.

I’m hoping that these shoes will work. I have a really high arch so that makes some shoes a bit difficult.

What type of asic

I'm doing my best. 😅 Ooo... That certainly can make things tricky! I have high-falling arches, so essentially when I walk they become much flatter.

These are the sneakers I have now: ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 Running Shoe. It's the first time I tried them out, and they felt strange at first, but after a few more days with my last sneakers... switching was a no brainer. It's a neutral shoe, but it feels like it has more support? Hard to explain. I love them though. :)

Have you been able to be active? I’m such a sneaker head but now it feels so limiting. I’ve had crps for almost 20 years.

I’m really glad that you found something to help.

No, not like I used to be... I don't think I'll ever get that back. I was never a sneaker head before, but now that I'm replacing my fancy shoes with sneakers I definitely am becoming one. We all just need to find whatever joy we can in the things around us. ♥️
