The doctor did tape my foot, said come back in a week, and stay off my foot. Well, that is a big joke, with a family, and all that goes on.
I keep the foot elevated at night, but as soon as I get up, it feels like razors are cutting into my foot.
I do have a 'heel spur' and the x-rays did show no broken bones.
I hate to get jerked around, but with insurance companies, you have to give them 'referrals' and if your original doctor doesen't want to send you, you are up the creek.
As for meds, I was on Darvocett and Soma for a back problems, but they don't want me to take it for my foot. It didn't seem to help anyway, I did try, knowing from 20 years of back pain.
Family is all upset that I can't get doctor to at least prescribe cortisone, or anti-inflamitories, but if you act the least little bit knowledgeable around these doctors, they shut you down and out.
Thanks again, any other help is appreciated
CJ
