Dear Dr. Ordon,   Thanks to you and The Doctors for the segment on "cankles".   I did not realize it had a name ... or that there was any solution.   Just like Natalie, I have hidden in shame behind pants most of my adult life.   Having been taught at a very young age to dislike my body, it has been difficult.  I distinctly recall my mother specifically making note of my large ankles and how unfortunate that I did not have her or my sisters pretty legs.   At age 52, not only are the "cankles" inherintly a problem, but add to that aging weight problems and an ankle injury years ago.........I now simply cannot bear the thought of wearing anything other than pants.      However, I did not realize (until your show) just how emotionally affected I really am.   When I heard what you were going to talk about I was glued to the TV.   As the segment progressed, the tears started flowing.   Even now, when I think of the beautiful gift you gave to Natalie I well up in tears.   There really is hope for people like me.    Could you please share with us if there is anything - aside from surgery - that can help reduce the size and help define the ankles?    I suspect that such a surgery is extremely expensive and not covered by any insurance.   Are there exercises of some type that we can do?   I have hoped all my life to hear of something I could do that would help.   The thought of being able to actually wear a dress or shorts again....... without excrutiating shame...............is absolutely unimaginable.     Please......... are there other solutions?
