Started my prescription for my foot today.

The prescription I mentioned in my last post that was given to me for the sharp pain in my foot is actually an ointment. I have to measure it on a little plastic strip. I actually started it this morning in hopes this helps the pain. After the first application that I put on this morning it didn’t get painful again til about mid morning early afternoon. I put it on about 5:15 am this morning. My gp really didn’t say how long it would last after I put it on my foot. Boy it’s a good thing I put my crutches in my car this morning because she was hurting in a big way. But once I got home I immediately got off my feet to rest my foot and I’ve had it on a pillow since I’ve been here too. I’m just hoping this mess going on with my foot, isn’t going to keep me on crutches. I’m hoping it won’t. Staying on crutches is not fun what so ever. This is actually the third time in my life I’ve had to be on crutches and needless to say it’s been the same leg each time. I’m not sure how long I’m going to need this ointment until the pain completely is gone or if it’s a temporary fix for now. There’s so many things that I’m wondering with this.

Would a fold up Rollator be easier for you? One with a seat for frequent rests.

Sorry poemsgalore1 for not getting back with you until now. I’m read what you suggested and I haven’t tried that as of yet. The only thing I’ve been doing is using my crutches to stay off of my right foot. It seems to help ease some of the pain as well when I need to get around I just use those. Speaking of witch I still need to go get them out of the back seat of my car. They aren’t doing me any good if they stay in my car. I know I’ll need them in a couple hours when it really gets bad for me. That’s usually when I have to use the crutches and stay on them til I go to bed. First thing in the morning is just as bad and I have to be on the crutches til it ease up for a few hours then by mid morning it acts up again if I’m on my feet to long. It’s very painful when it gets bad. Have a good evening and I’ll try to if I can providing if my foot lets me without the pain getting worse.
