I fell off a roof about 11 years ago messing up my ankles, one pretty bad. A year after the surgery and recovery the Dr. told me I would need to have my ankle fused but to wait till I could not stand the pain. I have been taking a daily tablet of Meloxicam, 15mg, since about 2004 and all has been fine until the last 6 months or so, it’s getting hard to get things moving in the morning and other times. So I went to another Orthopedic Surgeon recommended by the original as an ankle specialist and asked what is next. She recommended an offloading brace and injections of Methylprednisolone or Depo-Medrol. She recommends every 3 to 6 months, depending on how well it works.
Are there any FAA restrictions with regards to this treatment?
Thanks
