I had no choice but to beg for pain killers.It has been 3 weeks since I woke up with pain,I have been on crutches for 2 1/2 weeks.I set up a podiatrist appt.One week to go for that...Am not able to keep my foot down long without it swelling up and being uncomfortable.Heck,sitting is uncomfortable and sleeping certain nights has become awful as well!I have to have my foot propped on pillow,the pressure of the mattress is too much!I just want to be normal again!My house is going downhill,my summer plans are shot,I quit my job,I have NO insurance to boot!I have faithfully been icing,elevating,haven`t thought of shoes yet,but am wearing one to bed on pf (left)foot.It just seems that even after taking Naproxen and staying off of it,that the pain has not subsided at all!!Family and friends don`t understand,they figure the pain is gone if I`m off of it.I have burning,dull ache,my knee hurts even!Then it`s the other hip on good leg because of all the weight burden on it.Oh,and did I forget to mention that on the bottom of my (right)good foot,I have some sort of growth that has plagued me for yrs.So,not only am I miserable from the one,but the added stress on good foot is making that ache also.I own a 5 speed van, so can`t even hobble to take a drive!I`m a true homebody,but this is getting ridiculous!Just want to hear from other people who have been laid up and how long,gonna need valium for my mood and a padded room to scream in soon!!Thank you all so much for understanding my mood and letting me vent,this site has helped tremendously and has become a part of everyday for me!!
