Ow! Ow! Oh crap that hurts!


Over the weekend, I had some HORRIBLE shooting pains in my left foot. On Saturday, the pains hit me every 15 seconds to 5 minutes, and this went on for SEVEN HOURS. I've had a few pains since then, but nothing like Saturday. I went to the doctor today to see if he could help me with it. He's worried that I'm experiencing autonomic dysfunction due to last summer's Wreck. He's sending me to a pain specialist to sort it out. He's also sending me to a lymph-edema clinic because my legs and feet are badly swollen. It would be nice to have more normally sized feet again.

I hope you don't have dysfunction, as it is a pain and a half, literally. I am sorry you are having pain, and hope you get to a specialist who is covered - though I never found one, finding a GP who deals with enough death seems to be about the same.

For feet, I lowered them while sleeping, which is against what is said, but increased the 'assisted sit-ups' (knees up, go from as far up as possible to comfortably down and back again, assisted if needed - it got the edema out of my lower legs, along with flax - dunno why the flax).
