I have been having problems with my left foot since February, the heel hurt, then the area behind my knee started hurting, so I must have been walking to protect my heel. I have been taking lots of Ibuprofen to help with the pain. Yesterday I went to the podiatrist(foot doctor), x-ray shows I have a large heel spur with inflammation of my tendon. First they brought in all these pamphlets on freezing the nerves, surgery, and shock waves to break the spur. I opted for conservative treatment, so they put a cortisone injection in my heel. OUCH!! But I must say the foot feels better today. But I don't, I couldn't sleep last night at all, I was up and down so many times, I finally went to sofa to watch TV. Nothing on at night.
It is now AM, I still don't feel sleepy. So the 4th will be a long day.
Happy Independence Day to everyone! Don't forget to display your flag. And enjoy your cookouts.
