It took a little
over a week for me to really get
used to wearing the foot
orthotics. Each day was a
little less painful.
It was one of
those things that I couldn't decide
if the pain from the orthotics was
worse that the pain I was having
from the foot pain before.
But not one
to give up I am going to keep
wearing the orthotics and see how it
goes.
I saw my podiatrist again today
and she decided to start me on
another round of steroids to see if
that would help, especially since
the first time I was the steroids I
was still walking around on the
broken fibula without it being
immobilized.
My feet hurt! They really
hurt... with every step... I so need
something to really work. I am
definitely getting a lesson in
patience and I am really learned
that I am not all that good at being
patient!
So I stopped by the pharmacy to
pick up the steroids right after my
appointment. I will start taking
them in the morning.
I am worried though... the last
time I took them I had trouble
sleeping and felt like I had a
constant headache. But if it will
help with the foot pain, the high
sprain, the plantar fascitis... well
then I will take the medicine.
I've continued with the foot
stretching exercises my podiatrist
suggested and I've continued to ice
and elevate my feet.
Time will tell if this next round
of steroids will help.
