And now I lose my foot. -_-
15 years ago
Apparently, my right foot is slowly crippling itself. I have no idea what's causing it, but it's quickly getting worse and the problems are coming up more frequently. At any given moment, and without any warning or "trigger" that I can think of, it will do any (or a combination of) of the following:
* The tendons of the ankle feel like they're about to or have torn, but I can tell they haven't since I still have use of the foot, and it eventually goes away. (Though I'm usually limping for a bit while the pain is there.)
* The bones running down the top of the foot develop sharp pains, and almost feel like something crushed them. But like the ankle issue, I still have use of the foot, and it goes away on it's own after a while.
* The arch of my foot will have severe pain, much like the crushed feeling on top, but coming from the bottom instead.
* The entire sole of my foot will hurt, and often has the same torn tendon feeling as my ankle.
* Either the ankle alone or the entire foot will swell, even though my left foot's a normal size. (Maybe a little puffed up if I'd been on my feet all day, but I still consider that "normal" for me.)
* The toes will bend backwards on their own, with severe pain going from my ankle to the toes. Possilbly a muscle spasm, but I can't figure out why it's doing that at random.
Most of my right leg is pretty screwed up as it is. I injured the knee twice, and the second injury not only caused subsequent hip problems, but also left the muscles of my right leg weaker than the muscles on the left one. But it still pisses me off that I seem to be losing my foot as well. And it's made more irritating with the fact that I can't figure out why it's happening. I know I've been doing an eff-ton of work, and being -1 vehicle means I do a lot of walking, but my left leg isn't having even slight problems. It's only on my right, and they're severe problems.
Foot issues suck when you spend a lot of time on your feet...

I keep telling you this. There ARE free Clinics you can visit. Seriously, you need to go. Make an appointment, or just walk in. Most of them if they aren't free take payments and they are based off what you make, but I do know there are Free Clinics in the area. Look them up and gooo.
