What a Wednesday ! Yes, it finally arrived and I got in to see "Dr Nick" and he was a very up beat Doc and (get this) schooled in Philly...Alright finally someone I could relate too...Oh YEAH :)
He was very on the ball and went into a lot of explanations as we looked at my Xrays..(something which I like) and explained what was happening to my foot and why... Now that was very interesting...
Results is.. Yes, I have Arthritis and bone spur (only one) and the only thing I can do that will help...(he's not for giving pills) and that comes down to "good shoes with special inserts"...the damage I did to my feet when I was doing what I loved Uneven parallel bars and dismounting ...(while in high school and college)...and as we get older ...it does catch up !
This Doc was very thorough and I felt very comfortable even though I had "Hairy Socks"...HA...yes, traces of my Rotties came along with me and the Doc even laughed...good thing or I would have crawled (if I could have) in a hole ..
Now I'm soaking my foot and taking it easy...and the rest I hope will be history as soon as I buy a "new" pair of sneakers...
On to tomorrow...God Bless...I'm tired.. Brain tired that is..:)
Yay, no surgery! I was kinda worried about that! Good shoes and inserts sounds like a good plan! Here's hoping you are feeling better lickety split!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I had to do after developing a bone spur. New shoes & inserts from drs. recommended list. That and quit going barefoot on the hard floors. Worked too...no more pain. Hope you can say the same soon.
