Just wanted to know how the recovery is going...

Hi Ronald,

I am doing Ok.. Still feeling the pain. I can surely tell you when we are getting bad weather, my foot hurts quite a bit.

I am going for physio next week and will see the Dr in August. I still feel the nerve should have been removed. Otherwise, I am dealing with it and enjoying my summer. Still been walking and a little running on the beach.

I am off to NY for the weekend.

How are you doing? have you made any decisions yet? I think you should wait until after the summer and besides you are still on your honeymoon!!

take care and will keep you updated.

Happy July 4th All !!!!!

Hi CJ,

I'm going to a new podiatrist in a couple of weeks, since my old one bailed. So I'll get his opinion. I have a feeling he'll want to do cortisone injection, which I just might want to try to see if it helps at all.

Yes, you are right, I plan on waiting until at least the fall if I'm going to have surgery to remove the problem (which I'm still not sure it has been diagnosed yet).

Glad to hear from you. (I guess I got my account back.)

Hi Ronald,

Glad to hear that you are going to a new Dr. Be careful with the injection. Only do one and wait a while to see what happens. I personally would not do any of them.

You really have to becareful on the diagnosis. Some of these foot problems all have the same symptoms. Monitor your pain and write it down if you have to. Make sure the Dr. rules out all possibilities.

I could have had a Metatarsal Osteotomy surgery if I did not listen to another Dr. and I was almost convinced......

My light patch on my foot is just starting to disappear.

take care and keep in touch!!
CJ..

Hi CJ,
Yes, I plan on waiting and seeing what will happen with one. I read a study that said if one doesn't work, odds are the next one will work either.

I talked to a friend of mine the other day, he had a neuroma a couple years ago. His pod, gave him cortizone a coule times. He said his foot felt much better and feels fine now. He said once in a while it will hurt some.

I went to Monterey with my wife over the weekend. My foot hurt but it felt nice letting it soak in the nice cold ocean water.

How have you've been doing?
