My ankle hurts.

Last year, in march I weighed 304lbs. I was at my heaviest weight ever and very unhappy with myself. Since I started working at my current job, I've lost 45lbs and I currently weigh 259lbs. I'm trying to lose more weight but I seem to be stuck. I really want to get back to my pre-children weight of 191lbs. I've gone from a size 20 to a size 18 in pants. My waist could probably fit a size 16, but I can't get them past my thighs yet. Lol
Anyway, I walk a lot at work. Yesterday, my pedometer showed I walked over 5 miles. The restaurant I work at is not that big but between bussing tables, serving people their food, keeping the dining area clean and more, I am constantly in motion. Right now, my ankles, heels, my lower back and my left knee are throbbing painfully. I can barely sleep from the pain.
Mostly however it's my left ankle that's giving me the most trouble. I have ankle compression socks and a knee brace for when I'm at work. If I didn't, then I would hurt even more than I already do. Thank goodness I have lost weight though. I hurt worse back then.

@acrogodess - get them feet and ankle massaged when you can.

I have to have my nonslips for work and I'm on a tight budget. I have $30 non slip canvas shoes because that's what I could afford, but at least I won't break my back after mopping at work or slip on spilled coffee. *sighs*

Can you afford some really good insoles? My feet etc. hurt some, depending on the day. I carry too much weight and the school is actually built on concrete slab, most are. My schedule is regular though and that helps. You have to go through a lot just to get to work.

I will see if I can get some insoles. Something's gotta give though

I feel sorry to hear all the hurts you are feeling on your body. I hope it won't happen again as I know exactly how it feels. Take care my friend.

It doesn't help. I'm just on my feet too much.
