Podiatrist procedure made it worse?

Everywhere… but where he did the work, it doesn’t hurt.

It’s just like the usual pain in my feet, the entire foot, just ramped up on pain.

(And how weird is it that you can be numb and in pain at the same time? The way I describe it is, it’s like the surface is numb, but the interior, the inside is in pain. Often with little metal springs buried inside that are trying to burrow their way out, as they are shocked with electricity and heated to a molten temperature.)

It sounds like the procedure was pretty traumatic & the pain may be temporary. Perhaps they could give you something for a few days to ease the discomfort. I made the mistake of having vein ablation last February & I'm still suffering with all the nerves they banged into. Your description of the pain is spot on. I describe it as wearing a shoe that's one size too small, with fire ants trapped in your scratchy wool socks & walking around in the blazing Florida sun for an hour. In August. Talk to your podiatrist and get some answers.
