@lioness I thank you so much for your reply. I have been in great pain for over 8 months in my foot. My toes, my foot, my ankle up to my knee are swelling. The pain in my foot kept me from every day enjoyment which you might have read in some of my posts. I was diagnosed with lymphedema, chronic venus insufficiency, fibromyalgia. I was seen by 2 vein doctors who said that issue was not causing the pain but the swelling may be pushing on the nerve so lymphedema therapy. I have not had cancer or lymph node issues and they finally did a CAT scan and said lymph nodes not blocked. Foot still in pain. I was sent to a orthopedic surgeon by vein doctor and ortho doctor asks why I was there and eyes my painful swollen foot. Pain management does MRI on foot and ankle and shows mild osteoarthritis, small bone spure, small this that. I am told that shouldn't cause the swelling or that much pain. I will stop although there is more. I just get so upset. One morning I wake up in awful pain as usual and call my niece in tears and she takes me to ER in hospital.. They really couldn't do anything as I wasn't bleeding to death and I had pain meds, but did suggest a podiatrist outside of our hick town. I followed through and went last week and within 15 min and much touching and paining of my foot told me Morton neuroma. I said no to the shot. No more pain inflicted. He ut me on the 5 day steroid pack and within 3 and with a special pair of shoes I am able to stand. I have much fear now that the med pack is done and it hurts a bit and I don't think it will just stop because it is soooo inflamed after all this time and ding all the wrong things. The nerves are under my foot and in my toes and are affecting the entire foot and ankle and then the neuropathy decides to attack also. You think I am on the road to focus on dealing with the pain of the fibro and neuropathy? Sorry for such a long piece. I am so anxious just kind of waiting for this foot to drop.
