Oh Gosh, you are holding back on asking for support if you broke your toe and didn't mention it. You rascal! No wonder you are having more pain. And moving your business is a big deal. I am sure you have been completely overdoing it. Five minutes from home sounds great though.

Okay so you are 7 weeks out from breaking your toe...at 6 weeks fractures have finished laying down bone and then start dissolving whatever was extra. This is normal but can go into overdrive. That's why my son was to have an x-ray at 6 weeks to make sure it didn't overcompensate. If you need a re-check x-ray get one. They run under $75 most places. FYI a degree of swelling and inflammation at this point is still normal. We just don't tolerate that kind of thing well do we?

I think a booster right now sounds great. My ketamine was cumulative. It has helped with burning pain, deep aching pain and I believe swelling. Sorry for TMI but I used to have to pee like you wouldn't believe after infusions and now I typically don't have to. I read that ketamine helps with neurogenic edema and a prolonged diuresis is not uncommon.

I am not on LDN (but interested) but from what I understand it can take 6-9 months to make a difference at least according to Dr. Chopra. I don't know if its impact would be great enough at 3 weeks to make a judgement. It may be time to go up. I think the max is 4.5 mg but am not a 100% on that.

On mirror pain...I had so much pain in the beginning that I felt it on the other side. This is a documented phenomenon with intense pain of multiple kinds. Mine went away as I improved and I don't have spread. I also had compensatory pain in the other foot from just having to put all my weight on it. This felt different than the mirror pain. Only you can judge. I'm sure your good foot is asking "Why me?" if you are having to put more weight than normal on it.

Hang in there Mama Mac. I am sending extra healing love and will be thinking of you Monday.
