Okay, if you guys didn't get the idea, this is one mad mouse. There are some significant disadvantages to nerve damage... beyond, even, walking with a slight limp, having to wear hiking shoes all the time, and not ever being able to shop at DSW or Payless during the Buy One, Get One 50% off sales. Like, falling on your nose or your butt time and again. And again. And again.
I was pretty darned sure I hadn't done anything this time: it didn't start hurting too badly till last night, when it kept me up (now you know the reason behind the past-midnight posting!). I went to the doctor today, and she took my sock off and says, "Wow... its really swollen." I'd had to take my elastic brace off because I couldn't handle it (too tight). Then she asks me if I have any "ecchymosis". Huh?! Bruising. I said no, because I hadn't noticed any: I didn't think I was black and blue anywhere. WRONG!!!! All along the bottom of my foot, I am. And that means I tore something, again.
Oh, I'm so ticked off! Not at myself too much, but at the worker's comp laws in Pennsylvania... and the fact that I blindly agreed to what they suggested instead of fighting it. Okay, I didn't know then about medical care what I know now, that if they don't listen to you LEAVE... go somewhere else.
This is so old. I'm so tired of it. The doctor's office wants to have an MRI done, because an X-Ray will just show bone issues. But they are going to wait till I have a visit with an orthopedist, which is this coming Monday.
I can't take any kind of pain medication, can't take ibuprofren either, so she gave me a 'script for muscle relaxers because my leg was spasming again.
And I was so damn close to meeting my goals for the MONTH!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I'm in full whine mode right now. To top it off, it decided to RAIN for some reason tonight.
