Well all the messing MIGHT be coming to an end. I went back again to the podiatrist. I was to see an orthopedic doc late Aug but I am barely walking right now, so
The tendon lining is really bad again. Much more inflammation in there as well as the ligament in the bottom of the foot. it is very tender and hurts like a son EEE gun. Iwould rather use NICE words here LOL.
So he is going to go into the ankle area and scrape the tendon areas of inflammation and then cut the ligament in the bottom of the foot to relax that and make me able to flex my foot again. I had tried upping medrol to no help, boot with no help, inserts with no help and now THIS???
here is what I am talking about. http://podiatry.curtin.edu.au/encyclopedia/pt/

Well there ya got it. I am back in the brace and tell the truth? MORE bitchy LOL.
Surgery is will have 100mg of medrol IV before and again after the surgery. This is a must since I have been on medrol since 1993 an off of it ONLY 3 months of that ...YES believe it.
Pray this works people. I have about HAD it.
