@martyk Hello there. It's nice to meet you. I'm sorry you've been told you have chronic symptoms, and your podiatrist tells you they can't do anything else other than pain management. Thats tough to hear. The hardest part in learning that is acceptance, then coming up with a plan.

I was resistant to accepting my chronic symptoms and it took me quite a while to come to terms with the fact that there was nothing more to do, fix, or cure other than self-management of symptoms.

How do you feel about what your doctor told you? Do you feel you need another opinion, or are you ready to come up with a pain management plan?
