@johnbishop Thank you for replying. No I haven't really sat down with the doctor. He does seem gun hoe on the shot which of course I am not. I see him next week and will talk with him. Some people tell me the cortisone shot fixes it. To me it is also a temporary fix. I had carpel tunnel surgery years ago and have not had a problem since that time. My other wrist is giving some signs, but right now have to deal with the swelling and foot. I have been to the store for a bit and am now of course on the computer with my foot on ice ad it feels pretty good. Maybe if I can get the neuropathy pain under control my foot won't hurt so bad. I will take your advise and talk with doc. I have a feeling that Medicare will not pay for surgery until all other resources are used to no avail. I know they will not pay for an MRI until an Xray is done first. They are wasting our money because xrays miss so much. I am also dealing now with the nodules found on my thyroid 3 years ago being larger this ultra sound and a new one. This just came in yesterday so doctor won't see until Tues because of the Holiday.. Just added that because I have not told anyone and I think I am concerned although I tell myself not to until the doctor sees it.. I also have nodules on my lungs and will be scheduling a CAT scan next week to see if they are stable. Yikes and now worry about sticking a BIG BAD NEEDLE in my foot. I will be in Church early tomorrow for sure. Thank you everyone. I talk more to you than to my family.
