It looks like I will finally get approval to see this specialist! After almost two years of fighting... Three seperate IMEs ( talk about dr shopping, heh)... Finally.

Has anyone had experience with this dr? I'm so desperate to find a pain strategy that doesn't include or includes the least amount of narcotic treatment necessary, so I may be able to return to my life as a nurse.

I'm dieing here with no life except pain and medications. My entire life revolves around my stupid foot. Some days I wish they would just cut it off. I'm now unable to wear shoes again. I do wear them when I have no choice but I'm not happy about it... The pain makes me so angry and agitated.. I'm so not nice. I hate being this person, it defines me and I'm very angry about it.

I have been avoiding on increasing my medications, so I am either taking more or an angry crying mess. It seems like this is who I am.... Sleeping girl or angry girl. Nothing in between.

I have high hopes for this new dr and hope to goddess he accepts me as a patient. I'm begging the universe he will be able to find a strategy that keeps the pain in a level that I can function and get back to work.
