Melody, all I can ask is...
was it a big or little bottle? Not that one hurts more than the other...
I guess, pain nerves, not the nerves that are angry because of neuropathy, I believe there are different types of nerves that relay different issues/fuctions to various parts of the brain [they're still researching all this, of course, and don't seem to be much further along than there are 'different' nerves] Well, those pain nerves...the ones that GO WOW! I"VE JUST DROPPED A BOTTLE ON MY FOOT! Well, count your stars that they work?!!
I knew, really KNEW I had a problem, when I was using my cane to get out of my little compact..as I was propelling myself up-I happened to look down and that danged cane was in the middle of one of my feet! Didn't feel it! I am surprised that it didn't get broken and all that. Now, after IVIG and all, I really watch where I put my cane in relation to my where my feet are, and any pain I get [sometimes not fun] I am happy for. As long as I can feel and COMPLAIN about it -where else but here? I feel very fortunate!
Mrs D, the toes are no longer an issue or concern to me...it's the bigger bones like the metatarsals...now THOSE HURT and big time..As did the knee in 2 places last winter. They'd initially decided the knee was just a fracture/chip type thing of the knee cap, till it started to heal..then the tibia fracture showed up... A toe goes 'BOING' well, I Ice it and use the walker..wrap it to go out and then repeat of all preceding...
I guess what I'm trying to say is that WHEN YOU SEE STARS***** then you know you are in the Big Time?
Hugs to all - j
