#but maybe I could go shopping with my wife sometimes that'd be cool

In case anyone was wondering how this turned out... I got the X-ray. They didn't notice anything wrong with my bone, and my doctor offered no further interest or support despite me telling her I sometimes can't make it up and down the stairs in my own house to go pee. So I'm out the cost of the X-ray, and I would probably be better served by buying a cheap $200 folding wheelchair than trying to actually force some medical professional to identify what's wrong.

Very cool that in the US I have a problem with my ankle that's been ongoing for a year... on real bad days I can feel something in my foot grinding or clicking over something... and I gotta clear this with my insurance before I can get a test that will diagnose this problem I've been having for a year. Extra cool that I have to wait for the time of year when you're allowed to switch insurance providers, bc I want to negotiate with the new insurance providers vs the old ones about whether they should X-Ray my ankle that doesn't work.
