Gem,
I'm glad you were able to find some additional information and hopefully connect with a few other women who are going through the same thing you are. Sounds like you are doing all the right things, have you gone in for a second opinion/orthopedic surgeon about your ankle? At one point while I was going through my ligament reconstructions (on my ankle) and they just weren't holding anymore I did have one surgeon tell me there was nothing else he could do for me. I kept searching and found my current ortho surgeon who gave me hope and helped me out. I know my situation is not the same as yours because of the tremors your are having, but my pelvis did turn inward (tilt) as a result of the way I was walking and compensating the rest of my body was doing so I could walk.
I did not try any alternative treatment, but that's a great question to as the community of women on this site.
I hope you get some answers from your next appointment about your tremors and find a different orthopedic surgeon that might be able to help you with your ankle. So you can get back to living your life pain free! Keep me posted and let me know how things go.
Take care,
Ang
