I smashed my toe under a door and traumatized the toenail maybe 30 years ago. Since then, the toenail became more and more painful as it grew long and it no longer grew correctly after having been smashed. The cuticle became deformed in a way that the toenail seemed to be detached in pockets underneith thus why it was so painful as it grew. Perhaps that is why I didn't respond well to the treatment, I really don't know. It's just painful as heck now and taking longer than anyone expected to heal. Meanwhile, I developed warts on the bottom of my feet that over time grew more painful over the years. Meanwhile, I discovered I had osteoparosis arthritis in my lower back and after a while I started pain management and was getting a series of shots. I've been a caregiver all my life and can admit I've neglected myself somewhat and Meanwhile, my husband has cancer and I had nursed him through 2 boughts of pnuemonia and a surgery that seemed touch and go there for a bit all almost within 1 1/2 years. Then I started getting myself back on track. Soon after I had my first Dr. appointment for myself, come Thanksgiving eve 2020, I had another heart attack and was rushed into surgery to have another stent put in the other main artery. My first heart attack was in 2010. At this point, I was preparing for tripple by-pass surgery. I figured that even though my brain wasn't processing the idea of my chest being cracked open, I didn't want to be laid up with my feet killing me and a tooth ache and not being able to do anything about it so I was really just going through the motions of preparing myself for the unimaginable. God afforded me the time to fix my feet, get a tooth pulled and quit smoking cold turkey and scarfing down nothing but fruits, veggies, walnuts and grains throughout my rehab. Meanwhile, I returned to my foot Dr. with my complaints and he prescribed me an ointment to apply twice a day.and this is my second day so far and I can't tell much of a difference right now. Meanwhile, I just found out that I am doing so well that I don't have to have the major surgery now. I will be able to resolve other blockage issues with stents Thank you Jesus.
